After-Hours Care
 Sometimes
medical problems arise at odd hours
when the clinic is closed. Here’s what to do…
If you, a person, get suddenly ill,
you have two choices. You can go to the
Emergency Room at the hospital, or you can go to an
Urgent Care Clinic. There are pros and cons to each. The
ER Room is good for life-threatening things, where you
might need emergency surgery or hospitalization and
round-the-clock care. But it is expensive. The Urgent
Care Clinic probably can’t handle an emergency surgery
or round-the-clock care, but they do cost a lot less,
and are the best choice for things that can be seen,
treated, and then go home.
It’s the same choice for your pet. Dr. Nield at Sunnyside
Veterinary Clinic is usually available to see patients
after-hours, but on an on-call basis. This means that
neither a veterinarian nor staff are present at the
clinic outside of regular business hours unless by
special arrangement. We don’t offer round-the-clock
care. But many after-hour cases don’t need
round-the-clock observation. Many are treated and sent
right home. So we are like the Urgent Care Clinics: less
care, but less cost.
The Idaho Falls Veterinary Emergency Clinic is right up the
road from us. They have a doctor and staff there all
night long, and can handle an emergency surgery and
round-the-clock care for critically-ill patients. So
they are like the ER Room: higher level of care, higher
costs. You can just show up there, or you can call ahead
at 552-0662.Dr. Nield at Sunnyside

If you need after-hours care for your animal, call Dr.
Nield at:
523-2513
You will get an answering service who will connect you
to Dr. Nield. If Dr. Nield is not able to come on the
line, you can call the Idaho Falls Veterinary Emergency
Clinic at 552-0662
Emergency visits for pets start at about $85 plus
medications, testing, x-rays, etc. Payment is required
at the time of service. We regret that we are unable to
extend credit to emergency clients that are not regular
clients of Sunnyside Veterinary Clinic.
