My name is Dr. Christopher Smith and I'd like to welcome you to the blog on the Valley Central ER website. We are available to help you and your pet when your veterinarian isn't available. I'd like to use this space to inform you of unique emergencies or trends that we are seeing. We commonly see toxicities, viral diseases and other life threatening illnesses and hopefully by sharing our experiences, we can help you avoid the stress of having to come to the ER!
