IMPORTANT: EXOTIC ANIMAL EMERGENCIES

 Protecting the well-being of our doctors and staff affords us the ability to provide excellent care.  Unfortunately, this means we are not able to offer any medical assistance outside of office hours.  Our text, email, voicemail, or Messenger services are not routinely monitored on nights or weekends. We are not able to call medications into pharmacies or provide treatment guidance.
​
​We know finding emergency exotic pet care can be frustrating.  The following are clinics that may be able to assist you in the event of an emergency.  Please note: some clinics are only able to see exotics during allotted times, or when certain veterinarians are available.

Remember that ANY veterinary clinic willing to see exotic pets - even occasionally - is doing so not out of obligation, but their own motivation and care.  

Cornerstone Animal Hospital does not offer weekend or on-call services.
Do NOT wait to hear back from our clinic after hours if you suspect your pet is experiencing an emergency.
