Z Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, July 25, 1995 -- 3 a Emergency clinic just for your pets by Heather McCrae Chances are, if you own a pet, there may be a time you'll need the services of the new" Animal Emergency Cliniaof Durham 'Region. Located in a former veterinary office at 1912 Dundas St. in Whitby, the, emergéncy clinic is the only one in Durham Region and, to get it established, was supported by 19 animal hospitals throughout the Durham Region. In operation since May, the purpose of the clinic is to provide emergency veterinary care to companion animals during the hours regular hospitals are closed. Open during the week from 7pm throughout the night, at 8am the next day the animals are either discharged to their owners or are transferréd to their regular veterinary clinic for further care. Also giving 24 hour service on weekends and holidays, the clinic is an extension of care provided by veterinary clinics in the Region now, for the first time, pet care is available for 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. One evening recently, I visited the clinic and witnessed the care and treatment:given to an injured dog that had been brought into the clinic. "Joey" a Brittany spaniel had disappeared from her home the night a series of thunderstorms The only animal emergency clinic in Durham Region had its official opening last month. Now, pet care' in the Region Is being offered round the clock, everyday. Dr. Hayley King and technician Gillian Luk are shown with accident victim, "Joey." The dog came to the clinic one night with a dislocated hip. See story: "the clinic, had hit the area. Two days later in the late afternoon, her owners had found their pet lying in a ditch in a great deal of pain. Because their regular veterinary clinic was closed, they rushed the dog to the emergency clinic. Upon arrival, Dr. Hayley King and her technician, Gillian Luk, quickly assessed the animal's condition. X-rays showed "Joey" had a dislocated hip. While Dr. King administered fluids, steroids and antibiotics to her patient, Gillian cleaned up the area of the injured leg and made the animal as comfortable as possible. "The first thing we do when a sick or injured animal comes into is stabilize the patient" Dr. King told the Citizen. "If the injury is life threatening we do the emergency surgery here at the clinic". . "If she's .stable later this evening then we'll give her an anhesthetic and try to pop the leg back in" Dr. King said. Graduating from Ontario Veterinary College in the spring of 1994, Dr. King began her. ! career working at a small animal clinic in Kingston. One of several veterinarians on staff, she teamed up with the emergency clinic when it opened and is on duty one night a week and every other weekend. Gillian! is one of three technicians and works two nights a week and every other weekend. Before teaming up with the Animal Emergency Clinic, she had worked for 6 years at an emergency care clinic in Willowdale. But, living close by, she now finds the travelling much easier. Over the weekend the Citizen contacted the animal hospital "Joey" was transferred to and was told she was resting comfortably after having hip reduction surgery and expected to make a full recovery.
