When your pet needs care quickly, but it’s not a life-threatening emergency, our urgent care team is here to help. At Magruder Tabb Animal Clinic, we offer same-day appointments for dogs and cats experiencing sudden illness or minor injuries, so you don’t have to wait or visit the emergency room unnecessarily.
When Something Feels Off, We’re Ready
We understand how stressful it can be when your pet isn’t acting like themselves. That’s why we provide prompt evaluations, compassionate care, and clear communication throughout your visit. Whether your pet has an ear infection, upset stomach, or minor injury, our team will assess their condition, recommend diagnostics if needed, and begin treatment right away. Please call ahead for same-day availability.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Digestive Problems
Vomiting, diarrhea, or a sudden change in appetite can signal anything from a minor issue to something more serious. We’ll evaluate your pet’s symptoms, identify the cause, and help them feel better quickly.
Minor Injuries
Limping, cuts, or sprains can disrupt your pet’s comfort and routine. Our team provides prompt care to relieve pain, support healing, and get them back to normal as soon as possible.
Eye & Ear Issues
Redness, discharge, squinting, or frequent scratching may indicate irritation, infection, or allergies. We’ll assess the issue and provide treatment to ease discomfort and prevent it from worsening.
Allergies & Skin Problems
Itching, redness, or rashes can quickly become uncomfortable. We’ll determine the underlying cause and create a treatment plan to provide relief and support healthier skin.
Coughing or Sneezing
Ongoing coughing or sneezing can be a sign of illness or irritation. We’ll examine your pet and recommend care to help them breathe easier and recover comfortably.
Toxin Ingestion
If your pet may have ingested something harmful, quick action is important. Contact us right away so we can guide you on next steps and provide care as needed.
