We had to go there at 3 in the morning last year becaus our dog was having a tough time breathing. Previous Message Had to take one cat in since she fell ill after our regular vet closed. She will be fine, most likely, but damn, since we got here there have been 3-4 animals that have come in that probably won’t make it.

The worst I saw at the emergency vet (don't read):

I hate going to the emergency vet because there are always crying families there*
