Urgent Care
Pyometra
Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can progress quickly, so timely evaluation is important for your pet’s safety. At Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital, we assess symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, increased thirst, or unusual discharge and use diagnostics to determine severity. We guide you through treatment options clearly and focus on stabilizing your pet with steady, supportive care throughout recovery.
Orthopaedic and Wound Repair
Orthopaedic injuries and wounds can cause limping, soreness, or difficulty moving. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides urgent assessment for sprains, strains, minor fractures, ligament strain, and soft-tissue wounds. We examine the affected area, manage discomfort, and recommend stabilization or bandaging when needed. Imaging may be used for clarity. After treatment, we outline follow-up steps to support safe, steady healing.
C Sections
When labour is not progressing as expected, a C section may be recommended to protect both mother and newborns. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital evaluates the mother’s condition and fetal progress using examination and diagnostics. If surgery is required, we focus on safety, monitoring, and calm handling. After the procedure, we guide you through recovery care for both mother and babies.
Foreign Body Removal
Pets sometimes swallow objects that can lodge in the stomach or intestines. Signs may include vomiting, restlessness, loss of appetite, or behaviour changes. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital performs an exam and may recommend imaging to locate the obstruction. If removal is needed, we explain each option clearly. Early evaluation reduces risks and helps us support your pet’s comfort throughout treatment.
Trauma and Accident
After sudden accidents such as falls or impacts, prompt evaluation helps identify internal injuries, shock, wounds, or fractures. At Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital, we provide stabilization, pain control, and diagnostic testing as needed. We communicate findings clearly and offer guidance for home monitoring and follow-up care. Our focus is to support your pet’s comfort and safety after an unexpected incident.
Seizures or Collapse
Seizures or sudden collapse can indicate neurological, metabolic, or cardiac concerns. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides urgent stabilization and assessment to identify possible causes. Diagnostics such as bloodwork or imaging may be recommended. Throughout the visit, we keep communication steady and focus on monitoring and supportive care. Once stable, we discuss next steps for evaluation and long-term management.
Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions can appear as swelling, itchiness, hives, redness, or digestive upset. At Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital, we assess severity and provide treatment to ease discomfort while watching for progression. Mild cases may improve quickly, while more pronounced reactions may need closer monitoring. We help you understand prevention and future management so your pet can return to comfort safely.
Heatstroke
Heatstroke can develop during warm weather, strenuous activity, or time in enclosed spaces. Signs may include heavy panting, weakness, drooling, or confusion. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides cooling measures, monitoring, and supportive care to stabilize your pet. Diagnostics may help evaluate organ function. Once stable, we offer guidance on prevention and safe activity levels to reduce future heat-related risks.
Urinary Blockage
Urinary blockage, especially in male cats, is painful and requires prompt attention. Symptoms include straining, vocalizing, frequent attempts to urinate, or inability to pass urine. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital assesses the blockage, provides stabilization, and recommends treatment based on severity. Diagnostics help evaluate bladder health. After care, we discuss preventive strategies to lower the risk of recurrence.
Limping
Limping may result from soft-tissue strain, joint irritation, paw injuries, or minor fractures. We examine the affected limb, assess pain levels, and decide whether imaging is needed. Treatment may include rest, stabilization, bandaging, or supportive care. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides clear guidance on activity limits and follow-up steps to help your pet heal comfortably and avoid worsening injuries.
Biopsies
A biopsy helps evaluate lumps, bumps, or skin lesions that require closer examination. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital discusses sampling options, performs the procedure with gentle handling, and sends samples to a diagnostic lab. Once results return, we review them with you and outline next steps. Biopsies guide treatment decisions and help you understand underlying conditions more clearly.
Lacerations and Wounds
Cuts, scrapes, and bite wounds benefit from prompt assessment to reduce infection and support proper healing. We clean the area, evaluate depth, and decide whether closure is needed. Pain management, bandaging, or diagnostics may be included. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides clear home-care instructions and follow-up guidance to ensure smooth recovery and limit complications.
Parvovirus Treatment
Parvovirus can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and significant lethargy. Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital provides urgent supportive care, which may include fluids, monitoring, and symptom management. Diagnostic testing confirms infection and guides treatment planning. We keep communication clear throughout care, explaining progress and next steps. Early evaluation helps improve comfort and supports your pet through a challenging illness.
Breathing difficulty
Difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or sudden respiratory distress requires immediate assessment. At Glenn Mountain Animal Hospital, we evaluate airway function, check lung and heart sounds, and may recommend X-rays or oxygen support. Our goal is to stabilize your pet, identify possible causes, and create a clear plan for further care. Timely attention helps improve comfort and safety.
