When does an injury need a 24-hour hospital instead?

Go straight to a 24-hour hospital if your pet was hit by a car, fell from a height, is bleeding heavily and it won't slow with pressure, has a wound to the chest or belly, has trouble breathing, or has collapsed. Petfolk Nichols Hills gives primary and urgent care and is not an emergency hospital. VEG Oklahoma City, a 24-hour animal hospital on Pawnee Dr off N Western Ave, takes walk-ins. Call them on the way.

What wounds can Petfolk Nichols Hills treat today?

The team at Petfolk Nichols Hills commonly sees:

• Bite wounds from other dogs, cats or wildlife

• Cuts and scrapes from fences, glass or sticks

• Torn or broken nails that bleed or hurt

• Paw pad injuries

• Limping, sprains and suspected fractures, checked with digital x-rays on site

• Hot spots and abscesses, often from an old bite or scratch

• Small lumps of swelling after an injury

Treatment may include clipping and cleaning, pain medicine, antibiotics, a bandage, or stitches under sedation. The on-site pharmacy fills most medicines before you leave.

Why do bite wounds need a vet?

Teeth make small holes in the skin but can tear tissue underneath and push bacteria deep inside. Bite wounds often turn into abscesses a few days later. In cats, a small bite may not be found until it swells.

Wildlife is part of life here. In October 2026, the Nichols Hills City Council adopted a Coyote Conflict Management Plan, which covers coyote sightings, pet attacks and community education about wildlife. If your pet tangles with a coyote, skunk or other wild animal, have the wound checked the same day and ask about a rabies booster.

What should I do before I get there?

1. Stay calm and keep your pet still. Hurt pets may bite, even gentle ones.

2. Press a clean cloth on a bleeding wound. Don't keep lifting it to look.

3. Don't use hydrogen peroxide or human creams on deep wounds.

4. Support a limp leg and carry small pets. Use a towel or board for larger dogs if you can.

5. Call (405) 251-8816 to let the team know you're coming.

Gentle care when it hurts

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. At Petfolk Nichols Hills, that means pain relief early, slow handling and sedation for cleaning or stitching when it's needed. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

They were all excellent.
