When to Seek Urgent Veterinary Care

Urgent care is appropriate for situations that require immediate attention but are not life-threatening. These include:

Vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours.
Eye or ear infections.
Sudden limping or lameness.
Pain, lethargy, or changes in behavior.
Allergic reactions or skin irritation.
Minor wounds or injuries.

If your pet’s condition appears severe or life-threatening, our team will help you contact a nearby 24-hour emergency facility for continuous care.

What to Expect During Your Urgent Care Visit

Efficient Evaluation and Diagnostics

Upon arrival, our team quickly assesses your pet’s condition and performs a physical exam. We may recommend diagnostics such as lab tests, imaging, or bloodwork to identify the cause of your pet’s symptoms.

On-Site Diagnostics and Treatment

Because our clinic is equipped with an in-house laboratory and imaging technology, we can perform diagnostics and begin treatment during the same visit. Our veterinarians will discuss findings and treatment options so you can make the best decisions for your pet’s health.
