Sick Pet Veterinary Care in Georgetown, TX

If your pet is sick, it can be hard to know what’s wrong—or how serious it might be. At Guardian Paws Animal Hospital, we offer sick pet exams for dogs and cats in Georgetown, Liberty Hill, and Leander. Whether it’s an ear infection, vomiting, diarrhea, or just unusual behavior, our veterinarians are here to find answers and get your pet the care they need.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Vet Visit

Not every health concern is an emergency, but if your dog or cat seems “off,” it’s always best to have them checked. We commonly see pets for:

  • Ear infections that cause head shaking, scratching, or odor
  • Vomiting or diarrhea that doesn’t resolve quickly
  • Skin issues and allergies leading to itching, hair loss, or hot spots
  • Lethargy or loss of appetite
  • Unexplained changes in behavior

If you’re unsure whether your pet needs an appointment, call our team—we’d rather check them early than risk a condition worsening.

How We Diagnose & Treat Illness

Our goal is to get to the root of your pet’s symptoms. Sick pet visits often start with a thorough physical exam, followed by diagnostics when needed. With in-house lab testing, X-rays, and ultrasound, we can quickly identify issues ranging from infections to organ concerns. Fast results mean faster relief for your pet.

Tailored Treatment for Dogs & Cats

Depending on your pet’s condition, treatment may include medication, dietary adjustments, or at-home care instructions. More serious illnesses may require short-term Pet Hospitalization for monitoring and support. In urgent or severe cases, we may recommend Pet Surgery to correct the problem.

Preventing Future Health Problems

While illness can’t always be avoided, proactive care helps reduce risks. Annual Wellness & Preventative Care visits, vaccines, and parasite prevention are important tools in protecting your pet’s long-term health.

At Guardian Paws Animal Hospital, we understand how stressful it is when your pet isn’t feeling well. Our veterinary team provides gentle, thorough care and clear communication so you always know what’s happening and what to expect.
