About us
Nashville Veterinary Specialists acts as a 24 hour care center, offering emergency services as well as a broad array of specialties including oncology, dermatology, internal medicine, neurology and surgery.
Nashville Veterinary Specialists operates out of a 8,300 square foot facility that is located just south of Nashville. Our facility includes eleven exam rooms, dedicated suites for chemotherapy and ultrasound, a special procedures room (used for endoscopy, cystoscopy, bronchoscopy, neuromuscular electrodiagnostics, etc), digital radiology, three surgical suites, in-house computed tomography (CT), an intensive care unit with 30 individual animal housing units, an isolation ward and a canine rehabilitation room with an underwater treadmill.
An emergency with your animal is a critical and stressful event. We therefore have an emergency doctor and experienced technical support staff available at all times for you and your pet. We provide care for your important family member when your regular veterinarian is not available. We however work to get you back in the care of your veterinarian as soon as possible. Our emergency doctors are available at night, on weekends and on major holidays to see walk-in emergencies and provide care for our daytime hospitalized patients.
Doctors and veterinary support staff are in the hospital 24 hours a day to continually monitor and care for our patients. Care which is instituted by the specialists during the day is maintained at night. Treatments can be easily modified at any time to meet changing patient status.
The emergency doctors have training and experience in a broad area of veterinary medicine and surgery rather than in one specific area. The NVS emergency team sees a wide variety of medical problems ranging from minor infections to life threatening trauma. Surgeons, Neurologists and Internal Medicine specialists are on call to perform emergency surgery, advanced diagnostics (i.e. ultrasound and endoscopy) or other... show more specialized procedures.

Veronica L. asked:Seeking advice about my cat. He ate some plastic Easter grass earlier today and has thrown up several times since. He is moving around and enjoys being rubbed, but obviously doesn't feel well. He ate a small amount of tuna and drank the juice from the can, but an hour later, he threw it all up. Never dealt with anything like this, so I don't know how serious this could be. If I need to take him to a vet tonight, are there any 24 hour vets nearby, or should he be okay until morning?Casey B. replied:You can always call the vet on Sidco. They are an overnight emergency vet. They'll advise on whether or not to bring him in. http://www.nashvillevetspecialists.com

Our Chihuahua Pekingese puppy ate the tip off of a choclate covered pretzel my 7 year old son dropped on the floor and we weren't able to pick it up fast enough. He hasn't thrown up but is now running around and licking everything including the air. Any advice?

Cassandra T. asked:would any of you happen to know a vet that makes house calls on Sunday? (I'm sure there aren't many) but my doggie is not well and I think if I keep him here until Monday I'm afraid he's going to be suffering. I was going to try to hold on to him until Friday but based on how he's feeling tonight I don' think we can make it that long. I would love to find on the could run to the house a do it so that he;s as comfy as he can be, Here is a pic of my 17 year old baby, I think he looks like a Muppet. I adore him, this is devastating. I know it's short notice but I'm functioning in crisis mode. Any ideas would be helpful! Cassandra 818-6767Mary B. replied:Cassandra, I'd try Dr. Sherry Spain, (615) 228-4939. She provides vet services at home and has gently and lovingly helped many beloved pets make this transition. I think there are a couple more vets in Nashville who provide home services but I don't know them. If you can't find someone to help you at home, I just looked up the hours for Banfield Pet Hospital inside PetSmart on Charlotte Pike. They are open from 10-5 on Sunday. I've never used them but imagine they would help you. Their # is (615) 353-3800. If that doesn't work, you could try one of the specialty/emergency clinics or a clinic for emergencies only that is open 24/7. I've had the best experiences with Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners (specialty/emergency) near Cool Springs, 615-333-1212. Now, there is also a 24/7 option on Sidco Drive near 100 Oaks - Nashville Veterinary Specialists - 615-386-0107. Finally, there is still the pet emergency clinic on 12 th Ave.

Megan B. asked:** ANIMAL LOVERS IN GENERAL AND VETERINARIAN OFFICE EMPLOYEES, PLEASE READ*** I have a dear friend whose dog has some some type of obstruction in his stomach that has caused the poor thing to not be able to eat anything for the past 48 hours. Dr. Harmon is their vet, but their office doesn't do surgeries. I referred her to Cumberland Animal Hospital (which I love, please no harsh words), but they are unable to work out a payment plan since they are not one of their regular patients. She is on a fixed income and cannot afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars in advance.Rebecca O. replied:You can try calling Nashville Veterinary Services and animal emergency. They are by 100 Oaks in Nashville. They do surgery and have a 24 hour emergency vet. They do have Care Credit if that would help. The number is 615 386 0107 for pet emergencies.
