Large Animal Emergency Care
Our large animal doctors are on-call after hours and can be reached through our emergency triage service. (406-777-3844 ext. 1) Our large animal doctors offer both ranch-calls (fee associated with distance) and in office emergency appointments. There is an after-hours emergency fee of $85 for calls between 8am and 8pm, and a fee of $130 for calls between 8pm and 8am. Payment is required at time of service. Normal large animal hours are 9am to 5pm Monday - Friday.
Our Large animal doctors are happy to provide phone consultations to regular clients about on-going issues. Please keep in mind your animal will need to be seen if it requires prescribed medication or if it is a new issue.
Emergencies During Regular Business Hours
We do our best to see our existing clients' emergencies during regular business hours. Keep in mind, if your pet has a catastrophic injury we may refer you directly to an emergency clinic to receive the best emergency care as fast as possible. Please call the office 406-777-3844 ext. 2 to alert the staff of your emergency and your estimated time of arrival.
If you are a new client please give us a call and we will do our best to help you or direct you to the fastest emergency care for your pet.

Please let the emergency clinic know you are a client of Burnt Fork Veterinary Clinic and they will alert our office of your pets' emergency and if we need to provide follow-up care.
