Does anyone know of a pet clinic thats open today? We just moved here and it appears that 1 of my doxi"s is having back issues. All I can do is cry...

Veterinary Emergency Clinic
33040 Professional Drive, Leesburg, FL 34788
(352) 728-4440

I've never used them, but I believe they are the closest. Good luck...I hope your baby feels better soon.

So sorry to hear your little one is not feeling well. We use Amy Barnett, owner of PAWS Animal Hospital in Laurel Manor (352) 259-2439 as our vet and really like her and her staff. I remembered I once called and there was someone she referred to during the hours they were closed. I called for you and the message said to contact Emergency Vet Clinic of Central Florida (352) 728-4440 for emergiencies during the hours they were closed. I have never used them but if it is an emergency and can't wait till tomorrow ... I wouldn't hesitate to call. Best of luck to you and especially your Doxi.

From one doxie owner to another, I can certainly sympathize and empathize with you. Hope you can get you pup taken care of soon. To my understanding, the Emergency Clinic in Leesburg is the only thing available at night or on weekend. We have not had to use them and hope we never have to, but we did drive down there once and punched it into the GPS just in case we have to find it in the middle of the night some time. It's really not hard to find, but in the middle of the night it might not be quite so easy.

Good luck and I hope your dog has a speedy recovery.

Thank You all!!!!!

My wife always takes an extra once over of our girls as the weekend is approaching. We've been to too many emergency vets over the years. The regular vets aren't cheap, but in our experience, are still less than the emergency vets. If there's anything that looks suspicious on Thursday or Friday, we try to have our girls checked before the weekend.

There is a emergency clinic at the University of Florida.

Good luck.

Please let us know how your baby is doing.

Anxiety
 

It appears that my poor Heidi is suffering from Anxiety....All that head hanging and slinking around is her little "panic attack" mode... I am so happy to find out she has panic attacks...It explains alot. Thank You all for your help and concern. It was a warm welcome to the Villages. After Miss Heidi feels better we will get out and get to know the place better...again Thanks! Donna aka "gretch298"

Re Sick Dog
 

So happy to hear you have a diagnosis for Heidi..and that its not back trouble. Not to dismiss Anxiety but something you can work thru in time to alleviate her stress. At some point we hope to make TV home and one of our canines will be a challenge I am sure with her level of anxiety!! But we will see her thru them and in time I know she will adapt to her " future" new home. Good luck Gretch and Heidi:)

What did you think of the veterinary emergency clinic? I'm just wondering in case I ever have to rush my dog there. Thanks

Hi Gretch,
Moving can be stressful for animals and their people too. I'm glad your sweet doggie is ok. Give her lots of TLC. I'm sending some your way too.

Keep us posted on how she adjusts. Hugs.

Kathie, I thought Buffalo Ridge had opened an Emergency Clinic in The Villages?

Thanks for the update on how she is doing. That's scary stuff.

Give her a hug for me. :)
