Emergency Visits to the UFVMC
The UFVMC is open for emergency patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These cases can be referred by the primary care veterinarian or can be called directly by the owner or trainer. Please call (352) 392-2229 for Large Animals and (352) 392-2235 for Small Animals if you have an emergency. After 5pm Monday-Friday, on weekends and holidays an answering service will receive your call and page the appropriate doctor based on the medical condition of the patient.
Once you arrive your patient will be stabilized and evaluated, you will be provided with an initial estimate range and will be required to leave a deposit equal to 50% of the high end of the estimate range. You and your primary care veterinarian will be updated daily and upon any changes in the patient's condition.
