Emergency
Our emergency centre – Northern Suburbs Animal Emergency Centre.
Consulting Hours:
Monday to Friday 7pm-9am.
Saturday 6pm-12 midnight
Sundays & Public Holidays 24 hours.
The Northern Suburbs Animal Emergency Centre provides an after hours emergency service and continues the 24-hour care for our hospital patients. We are open all night, every night and 24 hours on public holidays. We also accept referrals from surrounding practices for example when they have patients needing overnight care and monitoring.
The hospital is equipped to deal with emergency situations with an extensive pharmacy including blood products. We have an in house laboratory allowing serum biochemistry, electrolytes, haematology, urinalysis, coagulation assays, stains and general microscopy. In addition we have digital radiology, full ECG monitoring, and ventilators.
The cost of emergency care is higher than the general practice fees due to the emergency equipment required and higher cost structure of staffing.
It is preferable to phone ahead so that we can be prepared for your arrival. Patients are triaged and emergency patients will be given priority.
