For emergencies that fall outside of normal clinic hours, we provide our Ormeau clients with access to Vetriage, our emergency service. This system ensures you and your critically ill animal get the right advice quickly, without the stress of searching for a Ormeau vet emergency service. If you have a concern about your pet outside of our normal clinic hours, simply call our usual clinic number 0756238299 to be connected with the Vetriage team.
Pet Emergency
Please note: If you feel your pet requires immediate and intensive care such as:
- having trouble breathing
- is unresponsive
- bleeding
- possibly been bitten by a snake
- been in an accident
Then please call our clinic number immediately to speak with the triage nurse for urgent assistance. Your call will be answered by a qualified and experienced veterinary nurse who will assess your pet’s situation. The triage nurse can provide expert advice for non-urgent issues or, in the case of a true emergency, will determine the necessary action and contact our on-call Ormeau vets. This ensures your pet gets the right level of care when they need it most, and our emergency veterinarians will be fully briefed on the situation before you arrive.
