Sick Visits & Injury Care: Here When Your Pet Needs Us Most
When your pet suddenly becomes ill or suffers an injury, prompt veterinary care can make all the difference. At Andrews Veterinary Clinic, our team is here to evaluate your pet's condition, identify the cause of their symptoms, and recommend the treatment they need. We're committed to providing compassionate care while keeping you informed throughout every step of the visit.
When to Schedule a Sick Visit
If your pet isn't feeling well or you're concerned about a change in their behavior, it's always appropriate to contact us. Schedule an appointment if your pet experiences:
· Vomiting or diarrhea
· Limping or signs of pain
· Coughing or sneezing
· Loss of appetite
· Unexpected weight loss
· Excessive scratching or frequent head shaking
· Eye or ear discharge
· Difficulty urinating or having bowel movements
· Lethargy or unusual hiding
· Open wounds, swelling, or other visible injuries
Even small changes in behavior may indicate an underlying medical problem, particularly in senior pets and cats.
What to Expect During a Sick Visit
During your pet's appointment, we may provide:
· A complete physical examination
· Review of your pet's symptoms and medical history
· Diagnostic testing such as bloodwork, urinalysis, X-rays, or ultrasound when needed
· A treatment plan tailored to your pet's condition
· Home care instructions and discussion of recommended next steps
Whenever possible, treatment begins during the same visit. If additional testing or specialty care is needed, we'll help coordinate the next stage of treatment.
Injury & Wound Care
Our veterinary team treats a variety of injuries, including:
· Wound cleaning, bandaging, and suturing
· Pain management and anti-inflammatory medications
· Digital X-rays to evaluate fractures or internal injuries
· Follow-up care to monitor healing and prevent infection
If your pet is bleeding, unable to stand, or experiencing severe distress, contact Andrews Veterinary Clinic immediately so we can prepare for your arrival.
You know your pet better than anyone. If something doesn't seem right, trust your instincts and let our team help determine what's causing the problem. Early evaluation often leads to faster treatment and a smoother recovery.
