Urgent Veterinary Services

At Creston Veterinary Hospital, our team strives to provide urgent veterinary care during our regular clinic hours. However, we always recommend contacting us in advance to ensure that we can provide your pet with the care they need.

If we cannot fit your pet into our schedule, you will be directed to the nearest veterinary hospital that can.

Our regular business hours are:

Below are some examples of situations that require urgent care:

• Abscesses
• Anal gland problems
• Back pain
• Coughing and sneezing
• Difficulty walking
• Ear infections
• Eye discharge and squinting
• Minor wounds and lacerations
• Limping or mild lameness 
• Not eating or drinking 
• Reactions to vaccines
• Skin allergies
• Upper respiratory infections 
• Urinary tract issues
• Vomiting and diarrhea 

Our animal hospital operates similarly to a human doctor's office. It may be unpredictable, and you may have to wait.

Our team cannot predict what cases we will see and when they will arrive. Please call ahead to inquire whether we can provide urgent care for your pet.

If our veterinarians' schedule cannot accommodate an urgent care appointment, we will direct you to the nearest EKVG hospital.

Some conditions require intensive overnight care. At Creston Veterinary Hospital, we might be able to provide overnight care for your dog or cat. However, if that's not possible, we will help you arrange for appropriate overnight veterinary hospitalization.

Your pet's well-being is our top priority.

Our veterinarians are primarily experienced with cats and dogs, but will see other small animals, such as birds and rodents, reptiles, and large animals like cows and pigs, in serious situations. Please call ahead to find out if we are able to care for your sick or injured pet.
