How We Evaluate Sick Pets

How We Evaluate Sick Pets

Sick pet exams are comprehensive medical evaluations designed to diagnose the cause of your pet’s symptoms. These exams are different from routine wellness visits — our focus is on identifying, managing, and treating an active health issue.

During an exam for a sick pet, our veterinarians will:

  • Review your pet’s medical history and symptoms
  • Perform a complete physical examination
  • Recommend diagnostic tests if needed (e.g., bloodwork, imaging, urinalysis)
  • Provide immediate treatment or create a care plan for recovery
  • Answer your questions and guide you through next steps

We’re equipped with in-house lab and imaging technology, which helps us diagnose problems quickly and begin treatment without delay.

Common Reasons for Sick Pet Exams

Not sure if your pet needs a veterinary visit? Some of the most common signs that a pet may need a sick pet exam include:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite or sudden weight loss
  • Excessive thirst or urination
  • Coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge
  • Lethargy or changes in behavior
  • Limping or signs of pain
  • Skin issues or unexplained lumps

If you notice any of these signs — or if your instincts tell you something isn’t right — it’s best to err on the side of caution and schedule an evaluation.
