Conveniently located off K96 near the Greenwich area, Urgent Pet Care is here for you. Our exceptionally talented veterinarians in Wichita, KS are skilled at performing cat and dog emergency surgery when every second counts. From the moment you arrive, our team works to stabilize your pet, identify the problem, and determine whether surgery is the safest next step.

When Might a Pet Need Emergency Surgery?

Emergency surgery is recommended when a condition cannot safely wait or will continue to worsen without intervention.

This may include:

  • A swollen, tight, or painful abdomen

  • Repeated vomiting with no improvement

  • Signs of something stuck in the stomach or intestines

  • Sudden weakness, collapse, or pale gums

  • Severe infections that affect internal organs

  • Trouble delivering puppies or kittens

  • Deep wounds or injuries from trauma

  • Ongoing pain that does not respond to initial treatment

In many of these cases, time matters. The sooner the problem is identified and treated, the better the outcome for your pet.

What to Expect If Your Pet Needs Surgery

We know this is a stressful experience. Our goal is to keep the process clear and supportive from start to finish.

  • Step 1: Immediate Assessment

    Your pet is evaluated right away. If they are unstable, we begin stabilization before anything else.

  • Step 2: Clear Explanation

    We explain what we are finding in straightforward terms, why surgery is recommended, and what the procedure involves. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and understand your options.

  • Step 3: Preparation and Monitoring

    Before surgery, we prepare your pet carefully and monitor vital signs throughout the entire procedure to keep them as safe as possible.

  • Step 4: Surgery and Ongoing Care

    Our team performs the procedure and continues close monitoring during recovery. Pain management and supportive care are part of every surgical plan.

  • Step 5: Next Steps and Follow-Up

    We walk you through what to expect at home, signs to watch for, and any follow-up care your pet may need.

If your pet requires overnight or intensive monitoring beyond our capabilities, we will stabilize them and help coordinate transfer to a 24-hour facility.
