When Does Your Pet Need Urgent Care?

Just like people, pets can experience sudden health problems or injuries that require quick medical attention. Knowing when to seek help can make all the difference.
If your pet shows any of the following signs or symptoms, contact us immediately:

  • Hit by a vehicle or fall from a height – Even if your pet seems fine, internal injuries may not be visible.

  • Excessive or uncontrolled bleeding – Bleeding that doesn’t stop after a few minutes requires immediate care.

  • Not eating or drinking for over 24 hours – This can indicate serious illness or dehydration.

  • Severe vomiting or diarrhea – Repeated episodes within a day can cause rapid fluid loss.

  • Signs of pain or anxiety – Pacing, whining, hiding, or difficulty walking can all signal pain.

  • Difficulty breathing – Labored or noisy breathing is always an emergency.

  • Collapsing or inability to stand – May indicate shock, heart issues, or neurological problems.

If you’re unsure whether your pet’s condition is urgent, it’s always best to call. Our team can help you determine whether immediate care is needed.

Be Prepared Before an Emergency Happens

Emergencies can happen at any time, so it’s important to have a plan in place. When choosing a veterinary hospital for your pet’s ongoing care, consider:

  • Do they have multiple veterinarians with diverse expertise?

  • What is their process for after-hours or weekend emergencies?

  • Are they equipped with advanced diagnostic and surgical tools for emergency treatment?
