Prompt Care

Prompt Care is our same-day urgent appointment service for situations that need attention but aren't emergencies. Rather than waiting days for a regular appointment, we'll work you into our schedule as quickly as possible.

Call us at (309) 828-7722 to request a Prompt Care appointment.

Call us. Our team will help you determine whether your pet needs emergency care at AEC or can wait for a Prompt Care appointment.

True emergencies requiring immediate AEC care include:

• Difficulty breathing
• Severe bleeding
• Collapse or inability to stand
• Seizures
• Toxin ingestion
• Severe trauma
• Inability to urinate (especially male cats)

When you call for a Prompt Care appointment:

• We'll ask about your pet's symptoms
• We'll find the earliest available time slot
• A veterinarian will examine your pet
• Diagnostics may be recommended
• You'll leave with a treatment plan

Same-day appointments are subject to availability. Calling early in the day gives you the best chance of being seen.
