Acute Illnesses and Injuries

Prompt care when your pet needs it most


Pets can develop sudden illnesses or injuries that need immediate attention. At Apex Animal Hospital, we provide fast, compassionate care to get them comfortable and on the road to recovery.

Signs of acute illness


Watch for sudden changes like:

  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargy or weakness
  • Fever
  • Unusual behavior

These signs can appear quickly and may signal something serious.

Common injuries we see

  • Sprains or strains from play or exercise
  • Broken or dislocated bones
  • Torn nails or paw injuries
  • Trauma from accidents or falls

Even small injuries can be painful and should be checked by a vet.
