When your animal is in trouble, every minute counts. Whether you’re managing a herd or caring for a single beloved companion, you need a large animal veterinarian who can quickly assess the situation and provide clear, confident guidance. Our team is on call for urgent needs from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day, including weekends and most holidays.

We are proud to offer dependable emergency support to our clients across Central Oregon, from equine lameness and colic to calving complications, injuries, down animals, and more. We also accept referrals for advanced diagnostics and gastric endoscopy when your animal needs specialized evaluation.

When to Call

If your animal is showing any of the following signs, we recommend calling immediately:

  • Horses: Colic, severe lameness, bleeding, wounds, choke, eye injuries, difficulty foaling, retained placenta
  • Cattle: Calving difficulties, bloating, down animals, fever, lameness, foot rot, injuries
  • Swine: Difficulty farrowing, anorexia, lethargy, lameness, trauma, respiratory distress
  • Small ruminants: Dystocia, bloat, diarrhea outbreaks, sudden illness or collapse

If you are unsure whether it’s an emergency, give us a call at (541) 246-7370. We would rather talk through a situation early than have you wait too long.

Emergency Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily

What to Expect

When you call, you will be connected with a member of our veterinary team. We will help determine whether your animal can be safely transported to our haul-in facility or if a farm visit is required. In many cases, we can triage over the phone and prepare for your arrival to save critical time.

Please note that due to demand and our commitment to high-quality care, we prioritize emergency services for existing clients and patients we’ve seen before. This is not only for your animal’s safety but also because some treatments require an established veterinary-client-patient relationship in order to legally prescribe or administer medications. If we have not seen your animal before, we will do our best to help you find care or offer supportive advice where possible.

Supporting Your Whole Operation

We understand that for many of our clients, veterinary emergencies are not just about the individual animal—they affect your livelihood, your breeding program, and your long-term herd health. We approach every emergency with a focus on practical solutions, honest communication, and forward-looking care recommendations that support both animal welfare and your broader goals.
