📢 Exciting Announcement from Points East VSH! 📢

Dear Points East VSH Community,

We've been listening to your feedback, and we're thrilled to announce a new initiative aimed at improving your experience with us. Starting this weekend, we're launching an appointment-based urgent care service on Saturdays and Sundays to help reduce wait times and provide quicker access to care for your beloved pets!

🐾 **What's Changing?**
In response to your valuable feedback, we're introducing an appointment-based urgent care service, starting this Saturday, April 20th, and continuing on April 27th. Following that, the service will be available every Saturday and Sunday throughout May.

🏥 **Who is it For?**
Our urgent care service is tailored for Priority 3 patients—those with non-life-threatening conditions that could benefit from prompt treatment to enhance comfort and healing time. This includes conditions such as skin issues, lameness, abscesses, minor wounds, sore eyes/ears, and chronic diseases.

📅 **How to Schedule?**
To make an appointment, simply use the following link: https://pointseastvsh.com/urgent-care/ . Urgent care appointments will be available from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.

💵 **What's the Cost?**
The urgent care exam fee is $75. Additionally, should your pet require transfer to the ER, you'll only be responsible for a transfer fee.

We're committed to providing you and your furry friends with the best care possible, and we believe this new initiative will make a significant difference in your experience with us. Thank you for your continued trust and support!

More information will be added to our website soon!

Meet Bogie. Bogie went to an ER vet in the triangle area for an increased respiratory rate, lethargy, and not acting like himself. The clinic did a quick ultrasound, saw some liver and spleen abnormalities, and told the owners that they should get an official ultrasound. The owners reached out to several practices, but all were full, so they called Points East. We received the call Monday and saw Bogie Wednesday.

The report came back saying Bogie has two nodules in his liver. We have a 3-month follow-up ultrasound to see if anything changes. We offered to send a referral closer to their home, but they were so happy they decided to stick with us.

If you are interested in our ultrasound referral services, please don't hesitate to reach out. Learn more about the service at the link - https://pointseastvsh.com/outpatient-ultrasound/
