Where Can I Take My Pet for Urgent Care in Citrus County?

Knowing where to turn when your pet needs care that can’t wait — brought to you by the team at Midway Animal Hospital.

When your pet is unwell, waiting a week for an appointment isn’t always an option — but not every problem calls for an expensive emergency-room visit either. That’s where urgent care comes in. Understanding the difference between urgent and emergency care helps you make the right call quickly, when it matters most.

Midway offers same-day urgent care during our regular weekday hours for pets who need to be seen promptly.

Urgent Care vs. Emergency Care

Whether your pet has a problem that can’t wait a week or a situation that feels like a true emergency, Midway Animal Hospital is equipped to help during our regular business hours. We see both urgent and emergency cases on-site — so in most situations, we’re ready to be your first call.

When to Call Midway First

During business hours, call us first for situations like:

• Limping, a minor wound, or a small cut or bite
• Vomiting or diarrhea that’s new but not severe
• Ear infections, eye irritation, or skin problems
• Suspected urinary tract issues
• A mild allergic reaction, such as facial swelling or hives
• Difficulty breathing, choking, or collapse
• A bloated, distended abdomen or unproductive retching
• Seizures, or major trauma such as being hit by a car
• Suspected poisoning or toxin ingestion
• Severe bleeding, or inability to urinate

When to Go Straight to a 24-Hour Emergency Hospital

If your pet needs care outside our business hours — evenings, overnight, or on a weekend — head straight to the nearest 24-hour emergency vet. Don’t wait for us to open if your pet is in serious distress after hours.
