When your pet isn’t feeling well, you need answers — and fast. At Cross Street Veterinary Hospital, we provide compassionate, efficient sick visit appointments to diagnose and treat illnesses in dogs and cats. Our team knows how stressful it can be when your pet is under the weather, and we’re here to support you with clinical expertise, calm communication, and a thorough care plan tailored to your pet’s needs.

What to Expect During a Sick Visit

Our sick visits are designed to quickly identify what’s wrong while keeping your pet as comfortable as possible. During your appointment, our veterinary team will:

  • Recommend diagnostic tests if necessary (such as blood work, X-rays, or urinalysis)
  • Discuss treatment options and next steps with you clearly and honestly

Whether your pet has a sudden issue like vomiting, diarrhea, or limping — or you’ve just noticed something isn’t quite right — we’re here to help.
