Urgent Care or
Emergency Care
At Silver Creek Animal Hospital, we are able to provide some urgent or emergency care during our regular business hours. If we refer you to another facility, it is because we believe that is the best option for your pet.
Urgent Care
Conditions that are urgent and should be seen within a day include: wounds/lacerations, not eating for 1-2 days, vomiting or diarrhea without lethargy or blood, eye injuries or concerns, or limping.
​
If you think your pet needs urgent care, please contact us and we will do our best to get you in. In some cases, we may not be equipped to handle your pets needs and may have to send you to a facility that can best care for your pet.
Emergency Care
These conditions are considered an emergency or life threatening and should be seen immediately: choking, difficulty breathing, heat stroke, seizures, trauma (hit by cars, attack by other dog, major wounds/lacerations with active bleeding), inability to urinate, bloat, foreign body, inability to walk or stand, toxin ingestion, severe lethargy or unresponsiveness.
