Found a sick puppy with injuries, vets closed. What should I do?

I would find Layla an ER vet. She sounds very ill at the moment, and I don't think it should wait until the morning. If there isn't an ER vet in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to find that vet is found on the clinic's answering machine or website. I would start calling around to find a vet to see her tonight. I hope this helps!

Oh my. That is definitely something that should have been seen if she was monitored for a few hours. Poor girl. I am so sorry, but I would highly recommend taking Holly in to an ER vet to have them look at this gaping hole closer to determine if this is going all the way through to the abdomen or has the potential to in the near future Also they need to start antibiotics right away and potentially close this area surgically with a drain in place, so it doesn't abscess. I am so sorry you are in this situation, but the best course of action here is to get Holly seen by a vet right away for proper wound management, before this turns into something more serious. Flushing this with betadine diluted 50;50 with warm water is ok to do tonight, if you can't get her in until the morning. Here is a website link that can provide you with ER vets in your area. http://www.vetlocator.com/hotline.php I hope that your fur baby Holly heals up soon! Best of luck and take care.

Unfortunately, this sounds like the puppy is very injured and ill and needs to be seen by a vet ASAP. If there is not a vet in your town, looking the next town over, or seeing if there is a local animal shelter or humane society that can take him in is best. Until you can find a vet or person to take him in for care, keeping him calm and quiet can help, however he needs to be seen in person ASAP.

If Little is doing as poorly as you describe, this is a medical emergency and she needs to see a vet right away. She could be seriously injured and in pain, and it's concerning that she won't move and has trouble walking. There is nothing you can do for her at home, she has to have veterinary care right away. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

He probably got bitten by either a snake or an insect, the swelling is very severe you need to try and find a vet clinic that provide out of hours service today as he might not survive, especially if it is a snake bite.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do for her at home. You cannot give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. In addition, it is illegal for the experts at Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to prescribe any medications for her without seeing her in person first. There will be a vet on call for the holidays, so I would call your local clinics to find the vet on call to see her now. Usually there is an emergency contact number on their website or their answering machine. I would find a vet to see her now if she is in a lot of pain.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I am so sorry that you are going through this! You are correct, Belle needs immediate Veterinary care. A lot of bully and smoosh faced breeds require C-sections. There should be an Emergency room open. I worked emergency for 9 years and was required to drive in despite hurricanes, blizzards and ice storms. I would find someone with 4 wheel drive or go slowly. I tired to do a quick google search based on your zip code, I hope one is close. Also most vet hospitals provide info on the answering machine regrading on where to go for emergencies. http://www.petflight.com/zip_codes/45660/vet_clinics I really hope all is well with Belle!
