WisCARES has pre-scheduled appointments which are managed by a combination of licensed veterinarian and veterinary students. We always have a licensed veterinarian working with your pet, even if a student is managing the case. WisCARES currently offers exams, core vaccines, flea and tick preventative, spay and neuter services, laboratory testing, and medications. We have an ultrasound and x-ray machine. We can handle both healthy and sick pet needs–if you’re wondering if we can help, just call and ask!
We provide most veterinary services by pre-scheduled appointments. We do not require your pet to be spayed or neutered to access services. We are experienced at offering compassionate and comprehensive care to you and your pet.
Please note that we do not offer emergency services, but we will do what we can to help out with urgent services. If you’re not sure if we can help your pet, please do call or email – we’re happy to answer questions and direct you elsewhere.
While WisCARES provides preventive and routine medical care, as well as urgent care, we are unable to provide care in truly emergent situations.
Some examples of emergent situations (emergencies) would be:
If your pet has been involved in a life threatening accident such as:
- Hit by a car
- Long distance fall
- Profuse bleeding from a wound
Or if your pet is experiencing a sudden illness such as:
- Collapse
- Seizure
- Possible poison ingestion–here is a list of common pet poisons.
- Trouble breathing
- Bleeding from the nose, mouth, etc
- Severe vomiting or diarrhea
- Straining to urinate without producing anything (male cats especially)
The ASPCA has a great site about dealing with medical emergencies with your pet–you can read it here.
