Lakefield Stencil was established in 2023. In veterinary terms, that means we’ve seen everything from thorns in paws to swallowed objects. Our urgent care veterinarians have turned trauma into recovery. During an emergency, our number one priority is to get your pet to us safely so we can begin treatment. Whenever possible, call ahead. Let us know the nature of the emergency, and we will prepare the clinic to provide the best urgent care possible.

Frequently treated emergencies include:

  • Heatstroke
  • Trauma Eye Infections
  • Seizures
  • Snakebites
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Wounds
  • Vomiting/Diarrhea
  • Breathing Abnormalities
  • Urinary Issues
  • Urgent ear and skin concerns

Heatstroke

Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency and immediate care should be sought. Pets are at greater risk for heat stroke when the temperature rises suddenly, there is high humidity, or the pet is confined in an area with poor ventilation. Other risk factors include certain medications, brachycephalic confirmation, laryngeal paralysis, obesity, heart disease, and increased age.

Signs of heatstroke:

  • Elevated temperature
  • Panting and salivation
  • Drowsiness and disorientation
  • Collapse
