What’s the Difference Between Urgent Care and an Emergency?
Urgent care covers medical issues that aren’t immediately life-threatening but still need timely attention to prevent them from worsening. These issues often cause discomfort or noticeable changes in behavior but can wait until office hours for treatment.
Signs Your Pet May Need Urgent Care:
- Allergic reactions (swelling, hives)
- Ear infections
- Limping or difficulty moving
- Vomiting or diarrhea (without blood)
- Coughing or sneezing
- Eye irritation (redness, discharge)
- Skin irritations, rashes, or itching
- Loss of appetite
- Changes in bathroom habits
If your pet shows any of these symptoms, contact us right away at (937) 773-8060 so we can assess the situation and provide the necessary care. We are dedicated to resolving urgent health concerns as quickly and effectively as possible to help your pet get back to their happy, healthy self.
