If you are a Primary Care Veterinarian in Austin, Texas or the surrounding area and need to transfer an emergency patient, please call the nearest CTVSEH location for our current emergency hospital status and consult with our attending emergency care veterinarian for availability.
CTVSEH has established an Emergency Department Status and Patient Priority System that details the number of patients we are currently taking in and the patients that will be admitted, thus allowing our teams of doctors and technicians to provide the best medical care and client communication possible for pets in Austin, Texas. Please call our locations before arriving for more details.
CTVSEH is currently seeing Emergency and Critical Care patients based on our triage protocols below. All patients having critical life-threatening situations will be a top priority. Patients not experiencing these critical life-threatening situations may experience extended wait times and be asked to either reach out to additional local pet emergency hospitals or contact VetTriage for further triaging advice. Below are examples of patients and their hospital priority levels.
The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) is your best resource for any animal poison-related emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435. A consultation fee may apply.
If your pet is already a patient of the CTVSEH network, our emergency vet hospital team will make contact with your primary care veterinarian to begin collaborating as soon as possible. However, even if your primary care provider is a member of another practice, we will treat your family veterinarian as an integral part of our team.
We know that having a pet with emergency medical needs can be stressful. In addition to providing all the care needed, we will also work with your budget. We accept all major credit cards and have payment plans available through Care Credit and ScratchPay.
