Sick Pet Visits are extended exams for specific health concerns. We are able to treat a number of medical concerns, including eye/ear infections, gastrointenstinal issues, urinary tract infections, and more. The price of a sick pet visit covers the exam - any necessary testing and treatment/medication are an additional charge.
Please note that the CPC is not an emergency animal hospital and is unable to provide care for medical emergencies. Please also note that we are not equipped to provide x-rays or diagnostic ultrasounds. If your animal’s condition is very involved or requires advanced diagnostics, we may need to refer you to a partner veterinarian.
