Pet Vomiting & Diarrhea Care in Missouri City, TX, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Missouri City is a vet in Missouri City, TX, that sees dogs and cats with vomiting or diarrhea the same day. Walk in or book online. The vet looks for the cause, treats dehydration, and sends you home with a clear plan.

One mild episode in a pet that's otherwise acting normal can often be watched at home. Repeated vomiting, blood, or a pet that seems weak needs a visit.

Call (832) 225-3315 or walk in. Same-day visits are available.

When is vomiting a reason for a 24-hour hospital?

Go to a 24-hour emergency hospital now if your dog is retching with nothing coming up and has a hard, swollen belly, if your pet collapses, vomits blood, or can't keep water down and is getting weak. VEG on University Blvd in Sugar Land is a walk-in, 24-hour option. Petfolk Missouri City is a primary and urgent care clinic.

When can vomiting or diarrhea wait a day?

If your adult pet vomited once or twice, or has soft stool, but is still eating, drinking and playing, you can often watch for a day. Call or come in if:

• It keeps happening, or lasts more than a day

• You see blood, or black, tar-like stool

• Your pet won't eat or seems tired

• Your pet may have eaten something toxic or a toy

• Your pet is a puppy, a kitten, a senior, or has a health problem like diabetes

What happens at a vomiting or diarrhea visit?

The vet asks what your pet ate, when signs started, and checks hydration, belly pain and temperature. Next steps may include a fecal test, blood work or x-rays. Treatment may include fluids, anti-nausea medicine and a bland or prescription diet.

At our Houston-area clinics, about a third of visits for vomiting or diarrhea between Oct 1, 2025 and Sep 30, 2026 included fluid therapy to fight dehydration.

Fear Free handling helps pets that feel sick stay as relaxed as possible.

It was our first time trying them and we will definitely be back!

Young pets and seniors dry out faster

Puppies, kittens and older pets lose water quickly. A puppy that isn't fully vaccinated and has vomiting and diarrhea could have parvo, which spreads easily, so call ahead before you walk in. Older pets with kidney problems can get worse quickly when they can't keep water down.

Bland food and water at home

If the vet says it's fine to start at home:

• Offer small amounts of water often, rather than a full bowl at once

• After the vomiting stops, feed small meals of the bland or prescribed food

• Go back to regular food slowly over a few days

• Pick up the yard right away, since some causes spread to other pets

Don't give human stomach medicine unless the vet says it's safe.

Common causes of an upset stomach

Many cases come from eating something new: trash, table scraps, a dead lizard in the yard, or a sudden food change. Others come from worms, Giardia, stress from boarding, or an infection. Less often, the cause is a swallowed toy, a problem with the pancreas or kidneys, or a poison. Tell the team about anything new in your pet's life in the last few days. A small detail, like a new treat or a trip to daycare, often points to the answer.

Vomiting and diarrhea visit pricing

A same-day stomach visit starts with a sick or urgent exam, which starts at $135 at Petfolk Missouri City. Tests, fluids and medicine are added based on what your pet needs. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.
