When Your Pet Is Sick, You Shouldn’t Have to Wait a Week
A dog that will not stop throwing up. A cat hiding under the bed. A sudden limp, an angry red ear, a lump you just noticed. When your pet is not feeling well, you want answers today, not an appointment next week.
Vineland Animal Hospital keeps room in the schedule for sick pets. Call us at (407) 233-3386 as early in the day as you can, tell us what is going on, and we will see your dog or cat the same day whenever we possibly can. As a one-doctor practice, your pet is seen by Dr. Millhoff, who already knows their history.
Send us your request and our team will call you to confirm a day and time. If your pet is sick today, please call (407) 233-3386.
To ensure a proper diagnosis, we often need to examine your pet. We begin a medical assessment by looking at your pet’s eyes, ears, and skin and checking his or her cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems for any abnormalities. We will perform blood and/or urine tests as necessary to check your pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and endocrine system, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. Based on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as radiography (x-rays), endoscopy (internal scoping), ultrasound, or biopsy.
If you’re concerned that something may be wrong with your pet, please call us to schedule a medical assessment. Depending on the symptoms, we may ask you to bring in your pet right away.
Tell our team what you are seeing. We will ask a few questions and give you a time to come in.
Bring any vomit or stool photos, a list of medications and anything your pet may have eaten (packaging helps).

Our in-house lab and digital X-rays let us look for answers during the visit.

Vineland Animal Hospital is not an emergency hospital. If you see any of these signs, or your pet is sick after hours, go to the nearest emergency hospital: Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Central Florida (VEC) at (407) 644-4449. The closest VEC location to us is 16369 W Colonial Dr, Oakland, FL 34787.
Many sick visits need more than an exam. With digital X-rays and in-house lab work at our hospital on S Apopka Vineland Rd, we can often check bloodwork, urine and X-rays during the same visit and start treatment right away, instead of waiting days on an outside lab. Learn about our diagnostics

Bufo (cane) toads are common in Central Florida and their toxin can be deadly. Wipe your dog’s gums and tongue with a damp cloth, keep the water flowing out of the mouth rather than down the throat, and go to an emergency hospital right away. If it happens during our business hours and your dog seems normal, call us at (407) 233-3386 for advice.
