What's the difference between urgent care and an ER?
Urgent care and same-day clinics are for a sick pet that isn't in danger, such as vomiting, limping, small wounds, ear or eye problems, or a pet that's “off” but alert. A 24/7 emergency hospital is for trouble breathing, collapse, blue/gray gums, a long seizure, heavy bleeding, a toxin swallowed, or a male cat straining to pee. Many urgent-care clinics close overnight, and ERs see the sickest pets first, so minor cases may wait. On this page, Charleston Veterinary Referral Center (24/7 ER), BluePearl Pet Hospital Mount Pleasant (24/7 ER), BluePearl Pet Hospital Summerville (24/7 ER), and VEG ER for Pets Mount Pleasant (24/7 ER) post 24/7 hours and are listed at the bottom. There is a full printable checklist at https://vetsopentoday.com/urgent-or-er.html.
