What Is Veterinary Urgent Care?
Urgent care bridges the gap between routine wellness visits and full-scale emergencies. It’s designed for situations where your pet needs prompt medical attention—but their condition is not life-threatening. At Sullivan Veterinary Service, our same-day urgent care appointments provide peace of mind, allowing us to evaluate, diagnose, and treat your pet without unnecessary delays.
Urgent care visits are available based on same-day appointment availability. We recommend calling us as early in the day as possible to secure a spot.
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Urgent Care
Our urgent care services are ideal for:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Lameness or sudden limping
- Minor wounds or injuries
- Ear infections or head shaking
- Eye redness, squinting, or discharge
- Loss of appetite or changes in behavior
- Urinary issues (frequent urination, accidents, straining)
- Skin irritation, itching, or hot spots
- Coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge
If your pet’s condition appears severe, we’ll help you determine whether they require emergency care at a 24-hour facility.
What to Expect During an Urgent Care Visit
When you arrive for a same-day urgent care appointment, our team will work efficiently to assess your pet’s condition. We prioritize comfort and communication at every step:
- Triage and physical exam to evaluate symptoms and determine next steps
- On-site diagnostics, including radiographs, ultrasound, and lab testing, if needed
- Immediate treatment or medication to relieve discomfort and address the issue
- Clear aftercare instructions and follow-up recommendations
- Friendly, informative communication to help you understand your pet’s condition
We understand how stressful it can be when your pet isn’t feeling well. Our team is here to guide you with empathy and clarity, keeping you informed and reassured throughout the visit.
Why Prompt Veterinary Attention Matters
Many health issues can worsen rapidly if left untreated. Catching conditions early—especially when your pet is showing new or unusual symptoms—can lead to better outcomes and fewer complications. Urgent care allows us to intervene quickly, relieve discomfort, and help your pet get back to normal as soon as possible.
