Dr. Chris Byers, the criticalcaredvm, is with us today. Chris is a specialist in emergency medicine and internal medicine for pets. He works in an intensive care unit for animals. He deals with animals with heart failure, diabetes, and many other diseases and these units are open 24/7. He explains what happens when you have to take your pet into the emergency room. As soon as the pet enters the unit, the pet is triaged to evaluate how seriously ill the pet is and a treatment plan is started. Chris has also a great blog. For more info: www.criticalcaredvm.com
