- Vomiting or diarrhea persisting for more than 24 hours
- Difficulty breathing or sudden, severe coughing
- Acute lameness or inability to walk
- Injuries, cuts, or wounds that need stitching
- Sudden changes in behavior or extreme lethargy
- Persistent or severe pain
- Allergic reactions, such as swelling or hives
- Seizures or tremors

What to Expect
We carefully assess each patient upon arrival to determine their medical urgency. While we make every effort to see patients in order of arrival, critical cases may require immediate attention, which can affect wait times. Please know that your pet’s health is our top priority – we will ensure every patient receives thorough, quality care during our business hours. For routine or non-urgent visits, we offer convenient drop-off services, allowing you to leave your stable pet with us and return later in the day. If your pet requires urgent care, please call us immediately at (352) 746-7171. While walk-ins are accepted for urgent care, we highly recommend calling ahead to ensure we are prepared to provide the best possible care for your pet.
