Pet parents often ask, "What happens during my pet’s examination at UrgentVet?" Great question!
A veterinarian physical exam is a complete checkup to make sure your pet is in tip-top shape! The vet carefully examines key areas, like your pet's eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and teeth, looking for any signs of infection or illness. They’ll listen to the heart and lungs, check the skin and coat for parasites or any unusual changes, and gently feel the abdomen to make sure everything’s in order internally. The vet also checks joints and muscles to identify any pain or stiffness. Finally, if needed, a neurological exam is conducted for pets showing any signs of neurological conditions. This thorough approach helps catch any health issues early, keeping your pet happy and healthy for the long run.
If your pet isn't feeling well and it shouldn’t wait, come see us. A licensed veterinarian and care team are standing by to help -- weekdays 3PM to 11PM and weekends 10AM to 8PM.
