For families affected by the ongoing government shutdown, Pieper Veterinary would like to help. If you are a federal employee and find your pet in need of emergency care, please inform our front desk staff at our Middletown or Madison 24 hour emergency hospitals. We have flexible payment options and support that we can offer you to help ensure that your pet continues to have access to the care that they need. Please bring your federal ID card.
The recent winter storm has covered the state in ice, and with it, has brought some unexpected dangers! This beautiful girl is Lavie, a 1-year-old Lab mix who decided to sneakily grab a snack from a bag of icemelt (a chemical mix used to keep roads and sidewalks unfrozen). Her family brought her to our emergency hospital in Middletown, where she saw Dr. Tipton.
Icemelts are toxic to dogs and cats, but luckily Lavie's bloodwork showed that she hadn't eaten quite enough to have any severe side effects. After getting some fluids to keep her hydrated and some stomach meds, she was able to go back home with her family.
As the snow starts to move in tonight we wanted to remind you that no matter what, our Middletown and Madison Emergency Room locations WILL remain open. We're here if you need us. Be safe!!
Our emergency rooms are open 24 hours a day, and that includes Christmas! A huge THANK you to our hardworking doctors in this photo, and all the other staff, technicians, assistants, receptionists, and other people who keep our emergency rooms in both Middletown and. Madison running all day, every single day, just in case you need us. Thank you ALL, you’re amazing!
