24/7 Emergency Care

As a loving pet parent, you never want to see your companion in any kind of distress. Unexpected illnesses and sudden accidents do happen unfortunately. How you handle these situations can make all the difference. At Franklin Veterinary Clinic, we want you to know that you’ve got a dedicated team in your corner. 

Our hospital and staff are equipped to provide life-saving critical care at a moment’s notice, any time – day or night. We’ll handle your loved one’s case with the utmost compassion, doing everything within our power to achieve a positive outcome. Our emergency care services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Some of the signs that your pet may require urgent medical attention include:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Ingestion of a foreign object or toxic substance
  • Broken bones
  • Cuts, lacerations or puncture wounds
  • Vomiting or diarrhea lasting longer than 24 hours
  • Bleeding
  • Trauma, such as a fall or being hit by a car
  • Swollen or tender abdomen
  • Difficulty urinating
  • Lameness
  • Disorientation
  • Foaming at the mouth
  • Convulsions/seizures
  • Loss of consciousness

If you notice any of these signs, please seek help right away. Whenever possible, we recommend calling ahead when an emergency occurs. This allows us to evaluate the situation, provide first aid instructions and prepare the hospital and our team for your pet’s arrival. Of course, should a phone call not be possible, don’t hesitate to come directly into our clinic.

We sincerely hope you never experience the need for emergency veterinary care. If you do, however, we want you to know that Franklin Veterinary Clinic will be there for you in your time of need.
