You can call them and make an appointment or go in as a walk in, which may actually be better because sometimes their phones get pretty busy.

Fortunately, most dogs with FCE will recover spontaneously (see prognosis, below). Physical therapy (e.g., underwater treadmill) can be helpful to facilitate recovery and build strength. Patience is needed while recovery is occurring. Typically, the first sign is a sudden yelp followed by a dog losing the ability to walk. The sharp, sudden pain from an FCE typically lessens. ... Common FCE therapies and exercises include: Hydrotherapy with an underwater treadmill. Stretching. Laser Therapy. Acupuncture. Exercise.
