If your pet suddenly seems sick, injured, or “not themselves,” you don’t always need the emergency room — but you also shouldn’t have to wait days for an appointment.
At Memorial Veterinary Hospital’s Urgent Care & Wellness Center in Throop, we provide same-day care for pets who need prompt medical attention. Our team focuses on fast answers, pain relief, and helping you understand what’s happening so you can act with confidence.
Ongoing stomach upset, appetite changes, or dehydration.
Sprains, strains, nail injuries, and small wounds.
Respiratory or eye infections that need treatment before worsening.
Hot spots, itching, rashes, swelling, or sudden allergic reactions.
Straining to urinate, accidents in the house, or frequent attempts to urinate.
(Male cats especially should be seen quickly.)
Trash ingestion, bones, toys, or possible toxin exposure.
Urgent visits are best for conditions that cause discomfort, pain, or abnormal behavior but are not immediately life-threatening, such as vomiting, limping, ear infections, or minor wounds.
We recommend calling ahead whenever possible so our team can prepare for your arrival and reduce your wait time. Walk-ins are accepted based on availability.
Our urgent care is equipped for many urgent medical needs but does not operate 24/7. For life-threatening emergencies, we’ll refer you to a trusted local emergency hospital.
Our compassionate team uses gentle handling techniques and pain relief when needed to keep every visit as calm and stress-free as possible.
