The article on Common Emergencies will provide information to help you provide appropriate first aid for your pet. Refer to the birds and wildlife, and stray dogs and cats pages which explain how to care for these injured animals.
Call for veterinary assistance if needed. Phone your local veterinarian, or if they are closed contact one of the emergency centres.

Call us on 02 4627 1333, the message will direct you to the mobile phone number to our own Veterinarian-on-call.
