When should you take your pet to the ‘vet ER?’ Are there any other options?

Calling all pet owners: Would you know what to do if your animal got hurt after your regular veterinarian’s office was closed?

Many people have somewhere they could go -- like a “vet ER,” as it’s sometimes called, but others might not.

Plus, what would you do if you knew your furry friend was hurt, but it wasn’t a life-threatening condition? There can be some gray area here.

An expert from UrgentVet met with the “River City Live” crew to review some options.
