Our veterinary team in Louisville, KY welcomes you and your pet for Veterinary Urgent Care!
We Treat Your Pet’s Non-Emergent Needs: Veterinary urgent care functions similarly to human urgent care, providing immediate attention to pets experiencing non-life-threatening emergencies. Our facility is designed to handle situations that require prompt medical attention but are not severe enough to warrant a visit to a full-service emergency veterinary hospital.
When a pet is brought into a veterinary urgent care center, the process typically begins with a triage. The veterinary staff assesses the severity of the pet’s condition to prioritize treatment based on medical need. Following this, the pet is examined by a veterinarian who will diagnose the issue and propose a treatment plan. This could range from medication to minor surgical procedures.
It’s important to note that while veterinary urgent care centers are equipped to handle a wide range of situations, extremely critical cases may still be referred to a specialized emergency hospital.
