Do skin and ear issues have your pup feeling down? UrgentVet is here to help! With spring in full bloom, pets and people alike are experiencing the onset of allergies, and for our furry friends, this can lead to a number of ailments.

For Rocky, a handsome 4-year-old Beagle, allergies lead to the formation of a hot spot on his neck. After giving Rocky a mild analgesic, we shaved the area to improve air flow, cleaned him up with a special antiseptic soap, and applied a topical medication to dry the spot up, help with the irritation, and provide additional pain relief.

A hot spot, or acute moist Pyodermatitis, can be a very uncomfortable and itchy problem, characterized by redness, wetness to the area, discomfort, and discharge - which can indicate infection!

We hope you're feeling much better, Rocky!

From big to little and young to old, all pets can benefit from the help of UrgentVet! Olive here developed urinary signs and was having accidents despite being a well-trained puppy; her parents decided to have her evaluated by our team at UrgentVet. We collected a sterile urine sample and found she had a urinary tract infection! After lots of yummy treats (which got all over her little face!) and lovin', we sent this sweetie home with some medications to help clear up her infection and keep her comfy. We hope you're feeling better Olive! Thanks for all the puppy snuggles and kisses!

This young little Cavalier/Poodle came to see us at UrgentVet when his dad noticed some abnormal redness and irritation on his sc***um - ouch! Despite the sensitive nature of his ailment, Luffy never stopped charming us - from the moment he walked in, to the moment he trotted out the door!

Accidents happen when you least expect it, but Gigi's mom was quick to have her evaluated at UrgentVet when she developed acute lameness in her front leg. Diagnostic imaging, such as radiographs, are frequently recommended and Gigi is a great example why - her x-rays revealed a broken toe.

We splinted her leg to immobilize the toe and sent her home with pain medications and recommendations for follow-up care. We wish you the best in your recovery sweet girl!

When Brandi and her babies came to UrgentVet - Carytown, her parents were worried that she may have been experiencing some post-operative complications following her emergency c-section at another clinic.

With five puppies keeping this new mama on round-the-clock duty, we recommended diagnostics to ensure there was no evidence of infection or unusual bleeding.

While we waited for test results, Brandi was able to settle down on a nice comfy bed, tend to her pups, and take a well-earned nap.

At the end of the visit, we provided her family with nutritional recommendations so Brandi can continue to heal and take great care of her babies! ❤️
