Emergencies

Please call Antioch Veterinary Hospital at (925)757-2233 if you have an emergency or are unsure if your pet may need emergency care during our normal business hours. Waiting too long may cause your pet to become more sick and may require additional treatment that could otherwise be prevented.

Emergency Symptoms Include (But Are Not Limited To):

  • Trouble Breathing or Ceased Breathing
  • Swollen Muzzle (Face)
  • Excessive Vomiting
  • Excessive Diarrhea
  • Inability to go to the Bathroom
  • Extreme Cases of Lethargy
  • Extreme Cases of Pain or Inability to Move
  • Anything Else that is Uncharacteristic of your Pet

If your pet has gotten into anything that could harm them (i.e. antifreeze, rat poison, prescription drugs, etc.) please bring the box/bottle or as much information as you can get from the product and bring it with you to your emergency appointment. This will help the doctor in determining the best course of action to take in making your pet well again.
