What are urgent care appointments?

Urgent care appointments are pre-booked emergency consultations that will allow you to avoid long wait times in the waiting room. This means you only need to arrive for your pre-scheduled appointment time. NO deposit is needed to secure your appointment. 🏥

To know our availabilities or book an urgent care appointment, please call 613-745-0123 to speak to one of our client care representatives. 📞

Please note that if your pet’s condition is judged to require hospitalization and/or critical care, you may be redirected to a different hospital that offers overnight care. 🩸

Appointment times are still available for this coming weekend, and we would be very happy to assist if any of your furry—or feathery, friends need our help. 🤲

Wishing you all a good weekend!

First Talk by Our New Veterinary Radiologist! 😃

This week marked the first mandatory educational session by Dr. Rajdeep Multani, our new veterinary board-certified radiologist, who gave an insightful and engaging talk to our staff, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting new chapter in our practice.
Dr. Multani began by introducing himself, sharing his background, and detailing his journey into veterinary radiology. ⛰️✈️

One of the highlights of the talk was Dr. Multani’s focus on the importance of collaboration and high-quality radiographs acquisition which maximize the interpretation accuracy to make informed decisions. Dr. Multani encouraged the staff to approach him with any questions about best imaging technique or modality to use for individual cases. He stressed out that he is not just here to provide expert imaging support but also to educate and work alongside everyone to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. 🐕🐈🦎

The session also included a thorough introduction on patient radiographic positioning for each system. Dr. Multani highlighted the strengths and limitations of each view, explaining when and why certain techniques are preferred in specific cases. The staff appreciated the clear and straightforward explanations, which provided a deeper understanding of the diagnostic processes we use every day. ☢️🩻👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

As our new veterinary radiologist settles into its role, we look forward to more opportunities for learning and growth. His expertise is already undoubtedly enhancing our ability to provide top-notch care to the animals we serve. We can proudly say that our diagnostic imaging service is ensuring the most valued testing for our patient and pet owners! 🏥👩👨
