When Should I Seek Emergency or Urgent Care?

Understanding the difference between emergency and urgent care can help you act quickly during stressful moments.

Emergency Care

Emergency care is required for life-threatening conditions that must be addressed immediately to prevent permanent harm or death. Seek emergency care right away if your pet is experiencing:

Difficulty breathing or choking
Seizures or collapse
Uncontrolled bleeding
Trauma from an accident or fall
Sudden paralysis or inability to stand
Ingestion of toxic substances
Unresponsiveness or extreme lethargy

Urgent Care

Urgent care addresses serious but non-life-threatening concerns that still require prompt attention, such as:

Vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours
Limping or minor wounds
Ear infections or eye discharge
Loss of appetite or unusual behavior
Reactions to vaccinations or medications
Skin rashes, hives, or itching

If you’re ever unsure which type of care your pet needs, just give us a call. Our team will help assess your pet’s symptoms and guide you to the right level of care.
