Urgent care is provided for illness or injuries which require prompt, same day attention but are not necessarily of a life or death nature. Covid -19 created a steep increase in pet ownership - this, combined with a worldwide shortage of veterinarians and support staff, has illustrated a concerning gap in urgent available veterinary care. Many hospitals have full appointments providing daily preve

ntive care ( vaccines, wellness exams, dietary consults, and all of the things that go into keeping your pet happy and healthy) and accessing an urgent visit can be a challenge. At Penhorn Animal Hospital, we work with your family veterinary team to ensure that your pet receives fast, same day appointments for conditions that just can't wait. We are excited to launch this next step in excellent veterinary service!

Who would like to take a guess ...does Dr Keizer like kittens?

Hank came to Penhorn Animal Hospital with nasal discharge, and Dr Keizer made sure he was feeling all the love while treating him. Who could resist that face?

Staff pets need urgent care too! Beatrice came to Penhorn Animal Hospital with acute lameness in her left hind leg.

Beatrice has a medical condition that makes her unable to use monthly tick prevention, so the first step was a blood test to rule out Lyme disease. That was negative, so xrays were next, which confirmed that nothing was broken or displaced. That means the best course of action is treating symptomatically - medication for pain and inflammation along with instructions for strict rest ( "Strict rest" is something Bea feels is open to interpretation.) Beatrice doesn't stop for much but she does want to stay still long enough to say thank you to Dr Lamey!

Ollie came to Penhorn Animal Hospital with limping, which can be one of the symptoms of Lyme disease.

Swollen joints, fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, generally feeling unwell and limping - these can all be indicators of Lyme disease. Not all symptoms are always present in all dogs - sometimes it's just one ( or even none at all.)

A TruRapid test was performed, which requires a small blood sample to check for 4 possible diseases. While Ollie's test was negative for 3, it came back positive for Lyme.

Treatment includes antibiotics, anti inflammatories and some extra TLC, which hopefully will have this handsome boy feeling better soon ❤️
