When your pet’s behavior shifts suddenly, such as guzzling water or nipping when petted, you don’t want to wait days for help. That’s why we offer same-day urgent care appointments during regular business hours. Led by Dr. Curry, whose background in emergency medicine helps us act quickly and effectively, our team is equipped to evaluate and treat your pet without delay.
More than just an upset stomach, frequent vomiting can point to infections, toxins, or blockages and deserves prompt evaluation.
Loose stool can cause dehydration and may be linked to parasites, illness, or dietary triggers.
If your usually active pet is suddenly listless or uninterested in things they love, it could signal pain or a more serious issue.
Pacing, whining, or an inability to get comfortable may reflect internal distress or anxiety.
An occasional dip in appetite can be normal, but if your pet refuses food for more than a day, it’s time to check in.
Noticeable changes may indicate metabolic issues like diabetes or kidney dysfunction.
New or worsening lameness could stem from injury, arthritis, or spinal problems that should be addressed promptly.
Hiding, sudden clinginess, or unusual aggression can all be signs that your pet isn’t feeling well.
Mucus, pus, or redness may mean infections that require professional care.
Drooling more than usual may point to nausea, oral pain, or something more serious like toxin exposure.
Labored or rapid breathing is always cause for immediate attention.
If you suspect your pet has eaten something harmful, like chocolate, medications, or houseplants, call us or poison control right away.
Chronic coughing can be a symptom of respiratory disease, heart issues, or something stuck in the airway.
Especially in male cats, urinary difficulty could signal a blockage. This is a critical emergency.
Red, itchy skin or bald spots may be caused by allergies, infections, or parasites.
If you find something unusual under your pet’s skin, don’t wait—let us take a closer look.
Sudden swelling or rashes could indicate an allergic reaction needing fast treatment.
Any open or punctured skin should be cleaned and evaluated to prevent infection or further injury.
