After Hours Urgent Care
Now Available
|
|
Friday, Saturday & Sunday
5PM - 12 Midnight
|
|
During after hours urgent care, we see patients on a walk-in basis. Animals that arrive with serious conditions are treated in order of urgency. Less serious cases such as respiratory infections, limping, minor cuts, ear infections, diarrhea, vomiting and patients with skin diseases are treated in order of arrival.
|
|
Know that after hours urgent care is for emergencies that need immediate assistance but are of a nature that allow out-patient emergency treatment. We provide effective after-hours relief for common pet illnesses and injuries - just like an urgent care center for people but for pets! For life threatening emergencies, please go directly to
Clay Duval Pet Emergency

Beware - Chewing Gum Can Be Deadly For Your Dog
|
|
Safe for you, not so safe for your canine
|
|
People are normally aware of the dangers of chocolate and anti-freeze in pets but what about sugar free chewing gum? Most chewing gum brands use an artificial sweetener called xylitol in their sugar free gum to give it that sweetness. Xylitol is mostly safe for you to consume but, unfortunately, even small amounts can be deadly to your dogs.
The human body can tell the difference between real sugar and xylitol so when xylitol enters our systems, it doesn’t release any extra insulin. However, a dog’s body doesn’t know the difference. When it sees xylitol, it assumes it is sugar and starts releasing a bunch of insulin to process the sugar.
But because it isn’t sugar, the insulin can’t do anything to it. This means all that extra insulin just starts working on whatever sugar is there and it starts breaking it down way too quickly.
So, your dog’s blood sugar levels will drop rapidly. This is what bodies use to fuel everything so when it is too low, it can start to wreak havoc on the whole body.
