***Please note while we always accept injured pets/strays and wildlife, due to facilities both inside and outside of the city of Calgary who accept healthy strays from us being at full capacity we temporarily are unable to accept uninjured strays.
Please call the hospital prior to arrival so that we can begin the triage process over the phone.
Examples of how triage priorities work are below
Priority 1 - Come directly to the hospital. Requires immediate treatment to survive. Ex. Cardiac or respiratory arrest, severe bleeding, seizing, head trauma.
Priority 2 - Come directly to the hospital. Requires treatment within a few hours to survive. Ex. Blocked cat, bloated, respiratory distress, actively bleeding, toxin ingestion.
Priority 3 - Same day care required. Ex. Vomiting, anorexia, non wt bearing, dystocia, lacerations, eye issues.
Priority 4 - Stable patients that do not require same day treatment. Ex. Ears/skin, weight bearing lameness, diarrhea/vomiting with good appetite, recent seizure.
