Pet Urgent Care in Madison, CT

Like people, pets can experience accidents and injuries requiring urgent care.

However, sometimes it may be difficult to determine if your pet is experiencing a trauma that warrants a visit to urgent care or if their symptoms are those of something less serious.

Operating room at CareFur.

Here are the most common reasons to seek emergency care for pets:

  • Respiratory Distress: If your pet is having difficulty breathing, this is an emergency.
  • Trauma: Your pet should visit a veterinarian as soon as possible if they have been hit by a vehicle or injured as a result of an attack by another animal.
  • Ingestion of Foreign Material/Toxins: Contact us immediately if you fear your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t have, as it could cause toxic effects or intestinal obstructions (blockages).
  • Urinary Straining: Straining to urinate can be a sign of an infection or a bladder stone.
  • Skin and Ear Infections: Pets can develop skin and ear infections that quickly become quite painful and worsen if left untreated.
