Conditions Indicating Urgent Care

Not all conditions below will require urgent care, but some indications that a visit to our pet hospital is warranted may include the following:

Skin Allergies

Skin allergies in pets, often referred to as atopic dermatitis, are often chronic conditions. Itching alone may not indicate urgent care needs, but allergies have the potential to become larger problems. If your pet has symptoms that progress in severity, such as a swollen face, chewed paws or open wounds, you may need an emergency vet. Fleas, another treatable condition, can also cause skin allergies.

Skin Infection

Skin infections can be both bacterial and fungal. Bacteria such as staphylococcus can lead to further complications, including severe illness, if not treated with antibiotics and the correct medical care. Another common cause of skin infection may be a wound, such as a bite from another animal or a scratch.

Ear Infection

An ear infection is a common pet complaint. In part, your pet's ears can become prone to dirt or scratching. In addition, oozing ears, swelling, redness, or loss of balance may indicate your pet needs medical treatment for ear infections.

Pet Vomiting

A single episode of vomiting in your pet is likely no reason for concern, but repeated vomiting may indicate an urgent care visit. In addition, abnormal temperatures, extreme lethargy, or signs of dehydration in the gums indicate potential urgent care needs.

Pet Diarrhea

Pet diarrhea follows the same rules as pet vomiting, with a single loose stool likely not being severe. However, repeated upset and signs of lethargy and dehydration may indicate a more critical care need. As with vomiting, immediately get treatment if this is associated with potentially harmful chemical ingestion.
