VEG ER for Pets

About

This 24-hour veterinary emergency hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side provides round-the-clock urgent and emergency care for cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and exotic animals. The facility operates without appointments, allowing pet owners to walk in at any time or call to speak directly with a veterinarian about their concerns. Located on 2nd Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets, the hospital serves pet owners throughout Manhattan and nearby areas including Long Island City. The medical team offers comprehensive emergency services including surgery, diagnostics, ultrasound, x-rays, endoscopy, and end-of-life care under the direction of Dr. Joyce Wagner, who brings over 15 years of emergency veterinary experience and certification as a CPR instructor. The facility features an open-design layout that allows pet owners to remain with their animals throughout treatment and hospitalization. Staff members are trained to handle emergency care for exotic pets and will assist owners with transporting animals from their vehicles when needed, maintaining collaboration with primary care veterinarians for continuity of care.
