Key Steps in Triage and Initial Care:

Assessment of Vital Signs
We begin by evaluating your pet’s level of consciousness, breathing, heart rate, and pain level. This allows us to quickly identify any life-threatening conditions that require immediate intervention.
Stabilization
If your pet is in critical condition, we may need to perform life-saving measures such as placing an IV catheter, administering IV fluids, providing oxygen, and managing pain. These steps are crucial in stabilizing your pet before further diagnostics are performed.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Once your pet is stabilized, our veterinarians will conduct necessary diagnostic tests, which may include imaging like x-rays or ultrasounds, as well as blood and urine tests. These evaluations help us understand the underlying issue and guide the next steps in treatment.

Common Emergency Situations We Handle

Our hospital is equipped to manage a variety of emergency situations, including but not limited to:

Severe Injuries:
Trauma from accidents, falls, or fights.
Gastrointestinal Emergencies
Bloat, severe vomiting, or diarrhea.
