Emergency services are only guaranteed to our current patients. Our emergency services will be expanding and using our colleagues to provide coverage as well. Dr. Elizabeth will personally be on call as much as she possibly can, while still taking care of herself and her other responsibilities. We understand how stressful an emergency can be and that you would prefer your regular veterinarian, and we will do our best to be there.  If she is not available then we will coordinate another veterinarian to visit your farm or refer you to a haul in clinic. We will continue to do our best to provide on the farm emergency care, but sometimes it may be necessary to haul. If you have an emergency please call 843-603-1070, select the emergency option, and leave a message. Please do not text as it may not be seen until the next business day and we want you to get the care your horse needs. Please call as soon as you think you have an emergency, prompt treatment improves outcomes! Emergencies are treated as such on both a Saturday or a Tuesday and there is no benefit in waiting until business hours to call with an emergency.
