What to Expect During a Sick Pet Exam
A sick pet exam is a focused medical evaluation designed to diagnose and address your pet’s specific symptoms. These visits are often prompted by changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or appearance. During your visit, our team will:
- Take a thorough history – We’ll discuss your pet’s symptoms, recent behavior, diet, lifestyle, and medical history.
- Perform a detailed physical examination – From head to tail, we’ll check vital signs, hydration, temperature, and any areas of concern.
- Recommend diagnostics if needed – Blood tests, urinalysis, fecal exams, imaging (such as X-rays), or other diagnostics help us get a complete picture.
- Develop a tailored treatment plan – Based on findings, we’ll provide recommendations for medications, home care, follow-up visits, or referrals if necessary.
We understand how stressful it can be when your pet is sick. That’s why we take the time to explain everything clearly and answer all your questions during your consultation.
When to Schedule a Consultation
Prompt medical attention can make all the difference in your pet’s recovery. Contact us right away if your dog or cat is showing signs of illness, including:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Coughing, sneezing, or nasal discharge
- Lethargy or weakness
- Loss of appetite or weight
- Excessive thirst or urination
- Limping or signs of pain

Even subtle changes in your pet’s normal behavior can indicate an underlying issue. Trust your instincts — if something feels off, it’s always best to schedule a sick pet exam sooner rather than later.
