When your pet is ill, we are here.

No one wants their pet to become sick, particularly when it is an emergency or unexpected. 

If it is after hours, please do not wait until the next day to call us. This often results in your pet's health deteriorating and can result in increased cost to you. Instead, please call Wexford Emergency Veterinary Clinic at 
905-495-9907. They can advise you whether it is safe to wait or if you should take your pet to emergency.

If you are coming to see us for an appointment, a good history is critical to timely treatment.

Unless you are coming in immediately due to an emergency, please take a moment to fill out the following checklist to the best of your ability so we are prepared for your when your pet arrives.

    Sick Pet History

    *PLEASE BRING A STOOL SAMPLE TO YOUR PET'S APPOINTMENT IF POSSIBLE. WE WILL SEND IT FOR A FECAL TEST AS MONTHLY DEWORMERS DO NOT PREVENT COCCIDIA OR GIARDIA*
    *PLEASE BRING A FRESH URINE SAMPLE TO YOUR PET'S APPOINTMENT OR DROP OFF SOONER IF POSSIBLE. PLEASE REFRIGERATE AND/OR BRING SAMPLE IN WITHIN 0-4 HOURS OF COLLECTION. 

    IF THERE IS NO CONCERN OF ACUTE INFECTION,  WE MAY ASK FOR A FIRST MORNING URINE SAMPLE, COLLECTED BEFORE EATING BREAKFAST, IN A CLEAN PLASTIC CONTAINER WASHED AND RINSED WELL THE NIGHT BEFORE AND AIR DRIED OVERNIGHT.

    PLEASE DO NOT WITHHOLD YOUR PET'S WATER UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ASKED TO DO SO.

    PLEASE REFRIGERATE SAMPLE AND/OR BRING TO CLINIC WITHIN 0-4 HOURS OF COLLECTION.*
    *PART OF A COMPLETE EYE EXAM MAY INCLUDE TESTING FOR TEAR PRODUCTION, CHECKING EYE PRESSURES AND STAINING THE EYE TO CHECK FOR ULCERS BEFORE DISPENSING MEDICATION. THE VETERINARIAN WILL CALL YOU BEFORE PERFORMING THESE TESTS IF THEY FEEL THEY ARE NECESSARY*
    *WE WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND COLLECTING SWAB SAMPLES FROM YOUR PET'S EARS FOR MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION TO AID IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT*
