Pet Emergency Care

At All About Animals Pet Clinic, we know that facing a pet emergency can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what’s next. That’s why our Mahomet, IL team is committed to making the urgent care process as smooth and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry friend.

Urgent pet care doesn’t have to be chaotic. Knowing what to expect during your visit can ease the stress and help you make quick, confident decisions. Let’s walk through the urgent care experience so you feel prepared and supported every step of the way.

Arrival and Triage

When you arrive at our clinic, time matters. We begin with a quick assessment to prioritize care.

What Happens First

• Immediate triage: A technician will assess your pet’s breathing, alertness, and vital signs within minutes.
  
• Stabilization if needed: If your pup or kitty is in distress, we jump into action right away to stabilize them.
  
• Basic questions: We’ll ask about symptoms, timing, possible toxin exposure, or changes in behavior.
  

Diagnostic Testing

After your pet is stable, we move into the next phase: understanding what’s wrong.

Urgent Diagnostic Tools

• On-site bloodwork: Fast results help us detect infection, organ issues, or dehydration.
  
• X-rays and ultrasound: We use imaging to find fractures, blockages, or internal concerns.
  
• Urine and fecal analysis: These tests provide insight into infections, toxins, or digestion issues.
  

Communication and Transparency

You deserve to know what’s happening at every stage.

Keeping You Informed

• Clear explanations: We’ll walk you through findings using simple language, not medical jargon.
  
• Treatment options: We present all choices, from immediate interventions to staged care if your budget is tight.
  
• Consent before treatment: Nothing happens without your approval.
  

Compassionate Treatment

Whether your pet needs fluids, medication, or minor procedures, we act quickly but gently.

What We Provide

• Pain control: Comfort comes first. We use vet-approved pain meds as needed.
  
• IV fluids and oxygen therapy: Many emergencies require hydration and support for breathing.
  
• Wound care and stabilization: We treat injuries with care and precision.
  

Discharge and Follow-Up

When your furry buddy is stable, we review next steps.

Going Home

• Home care instructions: We provide written and verbal guidance on medications, feeding, and activity.
  
• Follow-up visits: Our Champaign County vet clinic offers follow-ups to monitor recovery and adjust treatment if needed.
  
• Emergency referral: If 24-hour care is required, we coordinate with nearby facilities to ensure smooth transitions.
