At Crocker Animal Hospital we handle all of our after hours emergencies at our Franklin, KY location. See the Google Maps link below for directions. Your pet does not need to be a regular patient at our animal hospitals to take advantage of our emergency services.

If your animal has an emergency after regular business hours, weekends, or on a holiday before 10:00 p.m. call us at 270-586-0909 and leave a message for our on-call doctor. The veterinarian on-call will return your call promptly, and, if needed, make arrangements to meet you at the office in Franklin or take directions to your farm. We do charge an emergency fee for after-hours visits and will collect payment at the time of your visit.

For emergencies after 10:00 p.m. please contact:

NVS in Nashville, TN (615) 386-0107 or Clarksville, TN (931) 551-0107

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Obstetrical emergencies
  • Collapse
  • Bloating
  • Severe coughing
  • Broken limbs
  • Attacks by other animals
  • Continued vomiting or diarrhea
