Pet Urgent & Emergency Care
When your pet faces an unexpected illness or injury, our team at Boysen Animal Hospital is available during business hours to provide prompt, skilled pet emergency care and urgent treatment.
What Is Pet Urgent & Emergency Care?
Urgent care addresses issues that need same-day attention but are not life-threatening. Emergency care is for critical, life-endangering situations that require immediate stabilization.
These situations require fast, expert attention — and at Boysen Animal Hospital, we’re prepared to respond with compassion, precision, and experience.
Our emergency vet service in Waite Park, MN, also provides pet urgent care for conditions that may not be life-threatening but still require timely medical attention, such as minor wounds, allergic reactions, or gastrointestinal distress. No matter the situation, our goal is to stabilize, diagnose, and treat your pet quickly while keeping you informed every step of the way.
When to Seek Emergency or Urgent Care
Contact an urgent care vet immediately if your pet shows any of the following signs:
- Difficulty breathing or collapse
- Severe bleeding or injury
- Repeated vomiting or diarrhea
- Ingestion of toxins or foreign objects
- Seizures or disorientation
- Straining to urinate or defecate
- Uncontrolled pain or extreme lethargy
If you’re unsure whether your pet’s situation is an emergency, our team can help you determine the next best step over the phone.
Here When It Matters Most
At Boysen Animal Hospital, we understand how frightening it can be when your pet needs emergency care. Our veterinarians are trained to handle critical cases with calm efficiency and compassion.
We manage most medical and surgical emergencies on-site and will refer to a specialized facility if advanced critical care or overnight monitoring is needed. If possible, we ask that you call ahead so we can prepare for your arrival and provide faster treatment. However, in true emergencies, come directly to the hospital.
What to Expect During an Emergency Visit
When your pet arrives for emergency or urgent care, our veterinary team acts quickly to evaluate their condition and begin appropriate treatment. You can expect:
- Immediate Triage: Assessment of your pet’s vital signs and overall stability
- Diagnostic Testing: On-site labwork, pet imaging, or pet X-rays to identify the issue
- Stabilization and Treatment: Administering fluids, oxygen therapy, medication, or wound care as needed.
- Ongoing Communication: Clear explanations and compassionate updates throughout the process.
- Follow-Up Recommendations: Guidance for continued monitoring and recovery after discharge
We know emergencies can be stressful, so we focus on providing calm, efficient, and transparent care during every visit.
