Emergency Veterinary Care in Hattiesburg and Wiggins

Holland Veterinary Hospital provides emergency and urgent veterinary care for pets during our regular clinic hours. Please call us first so we can ensure we can accommodate your emergency. 

If we are unable to fit your pet into our schedule, we recommend that you visit the after-hours veterinary emergency care clinic nearest to you. 

Our veterinarians see emergency cases during our regular business hours. See our locations for more information.

• Severe bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop

• Fractured bones or severe lameness
• Seizures and/or staggering

Our Hattiesburg and Wiggins animal hospital is just like a human doctor's office—it can be unpredictable and you may have to wait. 

As we cannot predict what cases we'll see or how many patients will come in, we recommend calling ahead to find out whether we are able to provide emergency care for your dog or cat.

If we are unable to fit an emergency appointment into our vet's schedule, we recommend that you visit animal emergency services. 

Some veterinary emergencies require intensive overnight care. If overnight care is needed, we will work with you to get your pet referred to a 24-hour facility.

Our emergency veterinarians are mostly experienced with cats and dogs but will see other animals in serious situations.
