When Your Pet Needs Care Now
Some concerns simply cannot wait for a routine appointment. A limp that appeared overnight, repeated vomiting, a wound, or a pet who is just not acting like themselves all deserve timely attention. At Parkland Animal Clinic, we set aside room in our schedule for pets who need to be seen the same day, so your family is never left guessing.
We treat every urgent visit the way we treat all of our care, by looking at the whole pet rather than a single symptom. Our veterinarians work to understand what is happening, ease your pet's discomfort, and give you a clear plan for what comes next.
If your pet is showing sudden or worrying symptoms, call us at 954-757-9990. Calling ahead lets our team prepare for your arrival and prioritize pets who need prompt medical attention.
Common Reasons Pets Need Urgent Care
Pets cannot tell us when something is wrong, so changes in behavior or appearance are often the first sign. Reach out promptly if your pet is experiencing any of the following:
- Repeated vomiting or diarrhea
- A cut, bite wound, or sudden swelling
- Limping, stiffness, or difficulty moving
- Eye injuries or squinting
- Ear pain, head shaking, or persistent scratching
- Loss of appetite or unusual lethargy
- Suspected ingestion of something harmful
- Trouble urinating or straining
When you are unsure whether a symptom qualifies as urgent, call us. Our team will help you decide whether your pet should be seen right away.
What to Expect During an Urgent Visit
From the moment you arrive, our priority is your pet's comfort and your peace of mind. Our veterinarian will perform a focused physical examination, review your pet's history, and recommend any diagnostics that will help us understand the problem quickly. With digital radiology and in-house resources on site, we can often gather answers during the same visit.
Once we know what your pet is facing, we will walk you through the findings, discuss treatment options, and answer every question before moving forward. If at-home care is the right next step, we will make sure you leave with clear instructions to support your pet's recovery.
Urgent Care and Emergency Care Are Not the Same
Urgent care is for concerns that need attention today but are not immediately life threatening. If your pet is experiencing a true emergency, such as difficulty breathing, collapse, seizures, severe bleeding, or a suspected poisoning, and it is outside our business hours, please contact a 24-hour emergency animal hospital right away.
During our open hours, call us first at 954-757-9990 and we will guide you on the fastest way to help your pet.
