No, it doesn't. They're usually not available for emergencies. They can't do triage (oxygen, blood transfusions, anaesthesia, etc.) at your home.
You wouldn't call a family doctor to come out when you have a human medical emergency, you'd go to a hospital emergency room. Likewise, in a veterinary emergency, you go to the Emergency Clinic for Animals. Yes, I've ridden my bike there before (to pick up / drop off things after an event), but for every animal I've brought there, if I'd tried doing so by bike, the animal would have died in transit, or their injuries/conditions would have worsened considerably. > From: "Mitchell Nussbaum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I looked in the Yellow Pages today and found at least three vets who > advertised "house calls," including one on Willy St. I don't know if this > completely solves the problem of emergency veterinary transport, but it > might help. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Paul T.
