The Right Care For Your Companion

If your animal companion is injured or suddenly develops an acute, life threatening disease, it is imperative that he or she receives prompt and accurate emergency care. The Department of Emergency and Critical Care at AEMC is dedicated to giving your pet the best possible chance of survival when he or she is suffering from a critical, life-threatening situation. Dr. Jonnie Quantz leads a team of dedicated veterinarians, available 24 hrs a day, every day, to provide around-the-clock intensive care for every emergent need. AEMC’s emergency room provides state-of-the-art diagnostic and monitoring equipment to provide immediate answers for your pet’s emergency. Treatment can be started immediately to help alleviate suffering and start on the road to wellness.

The Department of Emergency and Critical Care is responsible for all incoming emergency patients. Your family veterinarian may refer you and your pet to our emergency and critical care department for diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring when they are not available. Emergency veterinarians and technicians are always on duty. This design ensures the best possible care for your pet 24 hours a days, 7 days a week. Services of the department include, but are not limited to: Stabilization of critically ill and trauma patients, Management of major and minor illnesses / injuries, Emergency surgery, Emergency ultrasound, Foreign body retrieval by endoscopy, Full in-house laboratory, Ventilator support, Oxygen support Blood, platelet, and plasma transfusion, and Partial and total enteral / parenteral nutrition.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ensures focused, continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients. In severe cases, it may take several days of hospitalization before the disease process or physical trauma is stable and recovery can occur. Cases supervised by the ICU include, but are not limited to: Congestive heart failure, Infectious disease, Pneumonia, Heat stroke, Poisoning, Endocrine and Metabolic Disease, Seizures, and Automobile injury.

Animal Emergency Medical Center was founded by Dr. Jonnie Quantz in May of 2000 with the goal of providing the community with a 24 hour emergency and critical care veterinary hospital. Over the years, AEMC has grown to incorporate multiple specialty services, including internal medicine, and surgery. Currently, AEMC features five full-time emergency and critical care veterinarians headed by a Diplomate of the American College of Emergency and Critical Care, two Diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiology, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, and a veterinarian devoted to the care of the avian and exotic species. Additionally, AEMC employs and trains highly skilled veterinary nurses (technicians) including seven Registered Veterinary Technicians.
