Experienced Pet Labor Emergency Vet in Rancho Cucamonga

What to Expect From Our Services

When you first bring your pet into our emergency hospital, we will triage them to determine the severity of the situation. We will work quickly to stabilize your pet’s condition while diagnosing the issue and creating a plan of action. If necessary, our veterinarian can perform a c-section. This is more common for certain breeds, such as French Bulldogs, or when the father is larger than the mother, but it can also happen if the mother is exhausted, in severe pain, or has not given birth despite strong contractions.

After the puppies or kittens are born, we can offer pediatric care. Whether the puppies or kittens are premature, sick, or otherwise need extra care, our veterinarian has the skills to support them in their first phase of life. We also provide guidance on what to look out for as the puppies or kittens grow and the mother feeds them, such as signs of mastitis (mammary gland infection) and eclampsia (inadequate nutrition leading to severely low calcium levels).

To support the continued health of the mom and puppies or kittens, we recommend following up with your primary vet. However, should another emergency come up as the puppies or kittens develop and the mom recovers, our practice will be here for you.
