That makes sense and it would depend on the emergency. They are our prmary vet and have used them for decades as both primary and emergency vet. They do have limited resources, but usually can stabilize. Sadly, Pittsfield vet hospital no longer provides emergency care. The vet situation in Pittsfield is getting pretty thin. Berkshire vet itself used to have eight vets, they are down to three. They lost several in the last year and a half. The best avian vet retired from there a year or so ago. They also had an exotics vet and a really great surgeon. The vet practice on upper East St also just closed down.
