Animal Urgent Care of South Orange County

Your pet is everything in your life. Next to your kids, you likely don’t have a stronger attachment to anything other than your pet. So when your cat or dog swallows something and acts strange, you need answers. Our urgent care vets are available to help your furry friend when it needs us most. We promise to provide your pet with the best possible care so they can return to being the best possible companion. We are a Mission Viejo emergency veterinarian clinic, and we are focused on giving your pet the best possible care.

Does My Pet Need Urgent Care?

Animals often hide symptoms of severe illness or injury. This is from instinctive wild behavior. Usually, visible illness or injury can often mean death for the animal displaying symptoms in the wild. Therefore, our pets will avoid showing signs of sickness. When your pet is visibly ill, it’s hard to witness because it means your pet can no longer ignore the pain.

Our urgent care provides outpatient services for a pet who needs help immediately but is not experiencing an emergency. However, we have emergency treatment facilities for symptoms beyond urgent care. We can keep pets overnight and treat any pet that needs emergency care. If your pet is experiencing an emergency, contact our emergency veterinarian in Mission Viejo.

Urgent Care Cases

Our small professional staff will treat a pet experiencing urgent symptoms with utmost sensitivity and seriousness. These acute symptoms include, but may not be limited to:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Eye or ear pain
• Nasal or mouth discharge
• Sudden change in behavior
• Coughing and sneezing

Emergency veterinary symptoms are immediate signs of life-threatening injury or illness. For example, if a pet is experiencing difficult symptoms, such as:

• Struggling to breathe
• Severe bleeding
• Choking or gagging
• Bleeding from orifices

Any of these symptoms indicate an extreme, life-threatening event for which your pet needs immediate treatment. Additionally, we will handle severe veterinary injuries, including broken bones and unconsciousness.
