What to do now
Get your pet here as fast as you can
There is very little to do at the roadside beyond keeping them still and getting them to a hospital.
- Call (714) 274-9305 while someone else drives, if you can
- Keep your pet still and support the whole body when you lift
- Keep them warm — shock drops body temperature fast
- Do not offer food or water, in case surgery is needed
- Be careful near the mouth: a frightened, painful animal may bite
A pet that gets up and walks away can still be seriously injured. Internal bleeding, a bruised lung and a torn diaphragm can all look like a minor limp and a scare for the first few hours.
What we do here
Stabilize first, then find the injuries
With trauma, the first priority is stabilizing your pet. Once stable, we can quickly identify injuries and begin treatment — all within the same hospital.
- Oxygen therapy and IV fluid support
- Digital X-ray and ultrasound, including focused AFAST and TFAST scans to quickly check the abdomen and chest for internal bleeding or abnormal fluid
- Emergency surgery in our on-site surgical suite
- Blood transfusions and advanced wound care
- ICU hospitalization with close monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels
- Overnight monitoring for most hospitalized patients by a veterinary technician, with a veterinarian on call
What to expect
What happens when you arrive
Seen right away
Trauma patients are seen before pets already in the waiting room.
Stabilize, then X-ray and scan
Pain relief, oxygen and fluids as needed, then a focused ultrasound scan and X-rays to find what is bleeding or broken.
Surgery or ICU
You hear what we found and what it costs first. Surgery and the ICU are both here in the same building. Most hospitalized patients are monitored overnight by a veterinary technician, with a veterinarian on call; only critically ill patients needing continuous veterinarian supervision are transferred.
Cats too
A cat hit by a car may hide its injuries
A cat that has been hit often hides instead of coming to you.
If your cat comes home limping, bleeding, with a torn claw or a dropped jaw, or simply hides and will not come out, treat it as trauma and call us. A fall from a height or a dog attack can cause the same kinds of injuries, and most of them cannot be seen from the outside. We are a Gold-level Cat Friendly Practice®, so our handling is designed for cats, even in an emergency.

Common questions
Questions we are asked
My dog seems fine after being hit by a car. Do they still need to be seen?
Yes. A pet can be walking and alert and still have internal bleeding, a bruised lung, a torn diaphragm (the muscle between the chest and belly) or a broken pelvis. A focused ultrasound and X-rays help us find out.
What should I do if my pet is struggling to breathe?
Come straight in and call (714) 274-9305 on the way. Keep handling to a minimum and let them choose the position they can breathe in. Pale or blue gums and open-mouth breathing in a cat are an immediate emergency.
Can you do the surgery, or will we be sent elsewhere?
Emergency surgery is performed here, in our own surgical suite, with the ICU in the same building afterward. Most hospitalized patients are monitored overnight by a veterinary technician, with a veterinarian on call; only critically ill patients needing continuous veterinarian supervision are transferred.
