Dr. Meghan Clarke
Meghan is originally from Saskatoon where she pursued her degrees in Biology with a Minor in Spanish, and her veterinary degree at the University of Saskatchewan. Meghan graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012 and soon after moved to Edmonton to practice Emergency Medicine for several years, and also dabbled in Pharmacology and General Practice, but is excited to return back to the Emergency Room again!
In her spare time, Meghan loves to travel, try new food, and learn new languages (proficient in French and Spanish, and can communicate in Sign Language), and bringing her husband and children on her many adventures!
Dr. Dawn Abbott
Dawn grew up in a military family, moving around Canada and Europe. From a young age she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. She completed her undergraduate degree in Marine Biology at Dalhousie University in Halifax. She then pursued her veterinary degree at the University of Prince Edward Island, graduating in 2012. Since this time she has spent time working both as a general practitioner, as well as an emergency veterinarian. She has a true passion for emergency medicine, and this has brought her to continuing in emergency medicine and opening Vet ER. Dawn has a particular interest in toxicities of any kind!

State of the Art Equipment
We use many of the same high tech equipment they human hospitals use to help critically ill patients. As an emergency hospital, we truly believe that monitoring equipment and advanced training in emergency to analyze patient parameters can help us better support and treat our patients.
This includes:
– Supplemental oxygen delivered via oxygen cages or nasal tubes
– Pulse oximeters
– Blood gas monitoring
– End tidal carbon dioxide measurement
– Continuous ECG monitoring
– Ultrasonography
– Blood pressure and central venous pressure measurements
– Blood transfusions
– In-house complete blood count
– In-house blood chemistry analysis
– In-house blood clotting factors
– In-house urine sediment analysis
– In-house x-rays
Much like human urgent care and emergency rooms, we operate on a “triage” system – all patients are assessed by a triage nurse, afterwards the most seriously ill or injured pets are seen first.
