Emergency & Urgent Care

When your pet needs prompt medical attention, PriorityPet Urgent Care in Lexington, KY is here to help. We offer walk-in urgent veterinary care for pets experiencing sudden illness or injury, providing timely support when your primary veterinarian is unavailable or when your pet’s condition shouldn’t wait for travel to a distant emergency hospital. Our clinic bridges the gap between routine daytime care and 24/7 emergency facilities, giving pet owners in Lexington and the surrounding communities a trusted option for urgent situations.

While we are not a 24/7 emergency hospital or ICU, our experienced veterinary team is equipped to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide range of urgent medical concerns. In more serious situations, our priority is quick evaluation, stabilization, and coordinating safe transfer to a full-service emergency or specialty hospital if advanced treatment or hospitalization is needed. Every visit begins with a thorough exam, and our doctors take time to clearly explain your pet’s condition and recommended next steps.

Urgent Conditions We Commonly Treat

We evaluate pets for a variety of urgent medical concerns, including but not limited to:

Vomiting or diarrhea
Lethargy or weakness
Breathing difficulties or coughing
Minor injuries or wounds
Limping or signs of pain
Allergic reactions
Eye issues or injuries
Urinary discomfort
Possible toxin ingestion
Suspected foreign body ingestion

Some pets may need diagnostics, treatment, and stabilization before referral. If your pet requires surgery, overnight monitoring, or specialized care beyond our scope, we’ll guide you to a trusted emergency facility and help ensure a smooth transition of care.
