When should I skip urgent care and go to a 24-hour hospital?

Go straight to a 24-hour emergency hospital if your pet can't breathe well, collapses, has a seizure, was hit by a car, is bleeding hard, or has a tight, swollen belly and keeps trying to vomit. Petfolk Fishers is a primary and urgent care clinic, not an emergency hospital. Two 24-hour options are close by: VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center at 7712 Crosspoint Commons in Fishers, and MedVet Indianapolis at 9650 Mayflower Park Dr in Carmel.

What problems can Petfolk Fishers see today?

Petfolk Fishers treats problems that need a vet today but are not life-threatening. Common reasons Fishers pet parents walk in:

• Vomiting or diarrhea that started in the last day or two

• A new limp, a cut pad or a torn nail

• Bite wounds, scrapes and small cuts

• Head shaking, ear pain or a swollen ear flap

• Itchy skin, hot spots or a sudden rash

• A red, squinting or weepy eye

• A cat going in and out of the litter box with little coming out

• Coughing or sneezing that won't stop

The clinic has an in-house lab for many tests, digital x-rays and basic ultrasound, so the vet can often find the cause in the same visit. An on-site pharmacy means most pets leave with their medicine.

What happens when we arrive

1. Walk in, or book online for the soonest time.

2. A team member asks what happened and checks the urgent signs first.

3. The vet examines your pet and tells you what they think is going on.

4. You get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

5. You go home with a plan, medicine if needed, and the signs that mean "call us back."

Fear Free and gentle handling are standard at every Petfolk clinic. That matters most when a pet is already sore and scared. One Fishers pet parent put it this way:

Brought a very nervous elderly dog to PetFolks, for vertigo, on a Sunday. We set an appointment online with ease. The staff was friendly and worked hard to not increase her stress level.

Weekend help in Fishers

Petfolk Fishers is open weekends, and same-day appointments are available. Book online to see today's times. Weekends are when many regular clinics are closed, and they are also when dogs come home from the park or daycare with a limp.

Lake days and winter walks

Summer swims at Geist and other Indiana lakes carry one real risk. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) warns that blue-green algae scum can cling to a dog's coat and get swallowed during licking. Rinse your dog with soap and water after a swim in scummy water, and come in if vomiting, diarrhea or weakness follows. In winter, road salt can crack paw pads.
