Emergency Care
The Animal Hospital at Lake Brandt Offers Pet Urgent Care
When sudden illness or injury occurs, you want fast help for your pet, to pet them back to full health. Your veterinarian can ensure that your pet is seen quickly, diagnosed accurately and receives appropriate treatment to relieve distress. At The Animal Hospital at Lake Brandt in Summerfield, NC, we can provide fast care for your pet when illness or injury occurs as part of our pet services.
Urgent or Emergency Care?
Pet owners are sometimes confused about what constitutes an “emergency,” and what constitutes an “urgent care” situation. An emergency involves wounds with excessive bleeding from trauma, breathing problems, broken bones, collapse or unconsciousness. After normal office hours, you should take your pet immediately to an emergency veterinary clinic in your area. However, if your pet appears sick, is weak, has a minor wound, is limping or has severe vomiting or diarrhea or seems to be in discomfort, urgent care can provide treatment in an efficient manner.
If you’re searching for after-hour needs we refer to Happy Tails Veterinary Hospital. You can reach them by calling (336) 643-2229.
