The Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Service was established and is supported by the majority of the veterinarians in this area. It was designed to provide the best possible medical and surgical emergency service for your pet.
The Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Service is open when other veterinary hospitals are closed or your regular veterinarian is not available. It is the intention of the Service to specialize predominantly in the emergency treatment of sick and injured animals. If your pet has a fracture of one or more of his or her bones, the fracture is immobilized in a splint so that no further damage will occur to the fractured bones surrounding soft tissue and blood vessels. Your family veterinarian will then repair the fracture for your pet. The Emergency Clinic cannot engage in complete orthopedic (bone repair) work due to extended after-care and the long period of time involved in the very specialized surgery. A fracture is generally not life threatening, but the attending shock and pain is our primary concern.
The Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Service is equipped with the latest and most modern equipment. One veterinarian is on duty at all hours with a veterinary assistant. The assistants at the Service are highly trained in all phases of emergency care.
