Our full name is Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals, but our friends call us MECA. We’re an ER for Animals, open 24/7, 365 days a year.  The veterinarians who refer their clients to us call us a “tertiary care hospital” for animals. Tertiary means the third — or highest — level of expertise in health care.

 

“In this endeavor, time is of the essence. At MECA, there is no higher priority than promptly serving the critical needs of referring veterinarians and their patients, 24/7.”  
– Marla Lichtenberger, DVM, DACVECC, Owner, MECA
