When something feels “off” with your pet, waiting days for an appointment isn’t an option. That’s why Hoffman Animal Hospital offers same-day urgent care visits during our regular hours, acting quickly to deliver efficient care so your pet gets the help they need without delay. Signs Your Pet Needs To Be Seen:
By Appointment Only
More than a minor stomach upset, repeated vomiting may signal an obstruction, toxin exposure, or infection that needs attention.
Beyond being messy, it can quickly cause dehydration and may be linked to parasites, illness, or diet changes.
A once-energetic pet who becomes unusually tired or disengaged could be experiencing pain or illness.
Pacing, whining, or struggling to get comfortable may point to internal discomfort.
Skipping a meal is one thing, but refusing food for more than 24 hours is a red flag.
Noticeable changes may indicate kidney disease, diabetes, or another metabolic issue.
New lameness can come from injury, arthritis, or spinal problems that shouldn’t be ignored.
Hiding, sudden clinginess, or uncharacteristic aggression can be a pet’s way of showing they’re unwell.
Pus, mucus, or redness may signal an infection needing treatment.
Unusual drooling can be linked to nausea, oral pain, or even toxin ingestion.
Labored or rapid breathing always warrants immediate care.
If your pet ate something dangerous (like chocolate, medications, or houseplants), call us right away or contact poison control.
Persistent coughing could point to respiratory disease, heart problems, or an airway obstruction.
Especially urgent in male cats, urinary blockages can be life-threatening.
These may stem from allergies, parasites, or infections.
Any unusual bumps deserve a closer look.
These may indicate an allergic reaction needing prompt care.
Open wounds should always be examined to prevent infection.
