Urgent Care

When every second counts, our team is ready to treat injuries, illness, or sudden changes in behavior.

Urgent Care: Competent, Compassionate Care for Pet Health Concerns.

Not every health scare is an emergency, but that doesn’t mean it can wait. Our urgent care services provide same-day or next-day veterinary attention for pets who need treatment for illness or minor injury.

What Is Urgent Veterinary Care?

Urgent care is ideal for situations that require timely medical attention but are not life-threatening. Contact us if your pet shows signs like:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea that persists for more than 24 hours

  • Limping or lameness

  • Minor wounds or injuries

  • Eye discharge or squinting

  • Sudden lethargy or appetite loss

  • Coughing or sneezing

  • Urinary accidents or discomfort

We’ll evaluate your pet quickly, provide relief, and determine whether more advanced treatment is needed.

Why Choose Our Urgent Care?

We offer:

  • Same-day or next-day appointments (as available)

  • In-house diagnostics for faster results

  • On-site pharmacy for immediate prescriptions

  • Gentle, low-stress handling for anxious pets

  • Clear communication about cost and care options

Our goal is to provide efficient, compassionate treatment, getting your pet back to feeling better as soon as possible.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  2. Physical exam and diagnostic testing if needed (e.g., X-rays, bloodwork)

  4. Medications, wound care, or further monitoring as needed

If we identify a more serious issue, we’ll guide you through the next steps and refer to specialists or emergency care if appropriate.

Your pet’s health shouldn’t have to wait. When something seems off, we’re here to help—without the ER hassle.

💙 Whether it’s a checkup, questions, or care needs, visit us—we’re here to be your partner in your pet’s health.


FAQs

Answers to Common Questions

At Bowdon Animal Hospital, it depends on the problem, but most likely, we are going to require your pet to be seen again, even if they were diagnosed and treated for the same medical condition recently. Some medical conditions look similar, and by assuming it is the same condition, we may not be treating your pet appropriately. Certain medications may also result in resistance which can cause a lack of response or, worse, a more severe problem if given too frequently or inappropriately. An exam to ensure proper diagnosis is what is best to keep your pet healthy for years to come.

At Bowdon Animal Hospital, Our weather is unpredictable, and even in the winter, we experience warm days. Flea, tick, and mosquito activity decreases with cooler weather but requires freezing temperatures over a sustained number of days for them to die. Intestinal parasites are a year-round occurrence, and heartworm prevention also keeps these parasites under control.

Yes, at Bowdon Animal Hospital our veterinarians see patients by appointment only. If you feel your pet needs veterinary care and you have not scheduled an appointment previously, please give us a call so we can assist you and your pet.

At Bowdon Animal Hospital ,Yes and no. State and County require that your cat or dog is vaccinated for rabies, as this is a matter of public safety. If your pet were to bite someone or another animal, they are required to quarantine, and the type of quarantine is based on their vaccination status. Fines from the County may also be incurred if your pet is not properly vaccinated for rabies. Other vaccines are considered either core or elective. We also offer vaccine titers if you prefer minimal vaccinations throughout your pet's life.
