Does your pet need emergency medical care? Call now for immediate assistance from our trained veterinary staff.
Alpine Animal Hospital provides comprehensive treatment services, hospitalization, and critical care for pet emergencies.
Our facility is equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment and technologies to help our veterinary experts assess your pet’s health.
When is an urgent care visit warranted?
In most cases, the following conditions are too risky to wait before seeking treatment:
- Injury from a traumatic accident or from an attack by another animal
- Prolonged diarrhea or vomiting that contains blood
- Collapse or loss of consciousness
- Difficulty breathing
- Swollen and/or painful abdomen
- Disorientation
- Seizures
- Foaming at the mouth
- Swallowing a foreign object
- Ingestion of a toxic substance
- Difficulty urinating
Not an emergency, but forgot about vaccines required for boarding or grooming? Our urgent care team can handle that too!
Urgent Care Tests & Diagnostics
During your pet’s visit, we provide the highest-quality care and attention. Our care team is skilled in offering surgical, diagnostic, and medical care while working compassionately and efficiently to ensure a positive outcome for our clients and patients.
We offer the latest diagnostics and testing for our urgent care patients, including:
- In-House Laboratory Testing: A blood test or urinalysis can help determine what of your pet’s internal organs may be compromised, and give our doctors and staff a direction on the best treatments available if your pet is experiencing an unknown illness or has ingested a toxic substance.
- Digital Radiology (X-rays): X-rays help us determine what kind of internal injuries your pet might be experiencing after a sustained trauma or injury.
- Endoscopy: Our endoscope is a flexible tube with a video camera attachment that’s inserted into a patient’s gastrointestinal system. This allows for inspection of the esophagus and stomach, and can even be used to retrieve ingested foreign bodies.
- Surgery: Our surgical team of technicians and doctors are highly proficient in all standard veterinary procedures, and even offer advanced procedures like fracture repairs, other orthopedic procedures, as well as advanced soft tissue surgeries.
- Hospitalization: In the event your pet needs to be admitted for hospitalization, in addition to a veterinarian, our team of treatment technicians ensure your patient receives the best care possible while they’re in our hospital, delivering updates morning and night, and administering all the loves and pets you would if they were home with you.
