Truss Vet Wilmington FAQs

Our team sees dogs for a broad range of urgent issues — things like vomiting, diarrhea, limping, ear infections, skin problems, eye concerns, urinary symptoms, wounds, and bite injuries.

If your dog gets into something they shouldn't have, starts shaking, seems unusually tired, or shows any symptom that's worrying you, bring them in the same day.
Cats come to us for many of the same urgent concerns as dogs, including eye problems, vomiting, wounds, urinary trouble, skin and allergy symptoms, diarrhea, and bite injuries.

Cats are experts at masking how they feel, so when possible, call ahead. A call gives our team a head start on triaging your cat's needs before you walk through the door.
We're equipped to handle a wide range of urgent and sick visits, including toxin or foreign object ingestion, respiratory symptoms, and insect or snake bites.

If your pet is dealing with one of these, head our way right away or call ahead so we can be ready when you arrive. For severe or life-threatening situations, go directly to an emergency animal hospital instead.
Yes — we have on-site digital X-rays and an in-house lab that delivers same-day results. If your pet needs more specialized testing, we'll send samples out to an outside lab.
Walk-ins are welcome, but we encourage visitors to call ahead or reserve a spot online before heading over.
No. Our focus stays on urgent and sick visits only. For wellness exams, vaccines, and other preventative care, your primary vet is the better fit.
