Pets can experience injuries and illnesses that may be sudden or life-threatening. Emergency veterinary care provides the immediate, on-the-spot treatment to save lives and restore animals to health. At Waldorf Emergency Care in Waldorf, MD, we have the knowledge and experience in treating a range of conditions.

Bone Fractures

Your emergency vet in Waldorf will carefully X-ray the injury and set the bone so that it can heal properly. For severe bone fractures, surgery may be necessary.

Respiratory Distress

Animals may experience breathing difficulties, choking, or respiratory infections that can affect their lung function. Our experienced team can help with medications, oxygen therapy, or surgery to improve breathing.

Ingestion of Poisons

If your pet is experiencing vomiting, confusion, or seizures, and you suspect he or she may have ingested a poisonous substance, get your animal to our emergency care clinic immediately for life-saving treatment.

Bite Wounds and Bleeding

A fight with another animal can result in bleeding or wounds that may require stitches or medications to help prevent infection. Similarly, accidents that cause lacerations should receive emergency pet care treatment from our veterinary clinic.

Severe Vomiting or Diarrhea

A severe bout of vomiting or diarrhea can be caused by eating tainted food, ingesting a toxic substance, or intestinal infection. Your veterinarian can help to determine the cause of your pet’s symptoms and administer the right treatment.

Common Pet Problems That Require Urgent Care

Medical problems come in all shapes and sizes for both humans and pets. Many health problems for pets require immediate medical attention, otherwise, they can turn tragic. The veterinarians at Waldorf Emergency Care have put together some information regarding urgent health issues that require immediate veterinary care.

  • Diarrhea and vomiting: Both are considered signs that something is wrong with your pet. They can indicate a wide range of health problems, from illness to poisoning. In most cases, it is safe to wait 24 hours, but if these symptoms last longer than that, you should bring your pet to the animal hospital.
  • Trauma: Traumas are quite common among pets. They can be caused by road accidents, falls, and attacks by other pets and animals. If your pet is injured, it is important to keep him or her as still as possible and bring the animal to the emergency pet care as quickly as possible.
  • Collapse: If your cat or dog falls and cannot get back up again, it could be a sign of a serious health issue. Collapses are caused by a variety of different issues, including respiratory diseases, brain trauma, poisoning, and others. If your pet collapses, seek help from a veterinarian as soon as possible.
  • Breathing problems: Problems with breathing can be caused by several different things. It can be an allergic reaction to something, a foreign object in the throat, or even a heart attack. This is another emergency scenario when you need to bring your pet to the animal hospital immediately.
