Has your pet suddenly fallen ill or had an accident? We have a list of contacts for emergency help with your pet.
If your pet becomes ill outside your vet’s normal opening hours it can be a worrying time for you. Mayhew's Vet Clinic is for preventative care only, however we can provide a list of emergency veterinary practices.
Your vet, even if closed, is obliged to have another veterinary practice providing care for their usual clients. Please call them and listen carefully to their out-of-hours answerphone message.
If your pet has an emergency in relation to a treatment given by us, please phone our Clinic. If there is no reply, and it is during our opening hours, come to the Clinic if you are safe and able to do so.
In the event of an emergency relating to a procedure carried out at Mayhew, please contact the Blue Cross Animal Hospital, Victoria on 0300 777 1890.
This hospital is very busy so it is vital that you call first if you think your pet needs to be seen. This is so that the team can be prepared for your arrival and provide the best care. Failure to call first could result in a delay to your pet receiving treatment.
Please note that any costs incurred will need to be paid in full by you. The level of costs are set by the Blue Cross and will vary according to your financial situation. In addition, under no circumstances will we pay for any veterinary fees.
