Your pet may have a serious and potentially life threatening injury or illness. Immediate emergency care is required to stabalize your pet. The initial assessment will cost between $250 - $350 for such emergency treatment during the first 30-60 minutes and may include, but not be limited to, medical evaluation, intravenous catheter placement, intravenous fluids, oxygen therapy, pain management, and intensive care/monitoring. If you authorize emergency treatment, we will proceed immediately and you will be responsible for all associated charges. As soon as your pet's condition is stabilized, the doctor will speak with you and prepare a detailed estimate for further care and treatment of your pet. A deposit of 50% of the total estimate will be required at that time.
