Common Situations That Require Urgent and Emergency Care
Some of the situations that may require urgent or emergency care for your pet are:
Urinary Obstruction In Male Cats: Initially cats may show signs of urinary tract inflammation and discomfort, including straining to urinate, frequent urination, blood in the urine, painful urination, and inappropriate urination (urinating outside of a litter box).
Traumatic Injuries: Accidents, falls, or other traumatic incidents can result in broken bones, wounds, or internal injuries. Our team is skilled in providing immediate care to stabilize and treat these conditions.
Respiratory Distress: Difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or choking can be signs of a respiratory emergency. Our veterinarians are trained to address these critical situations promptly.
Poisoning and Toxin Ingestion: Immediate action is crucial if you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic substance. Our emergency care team can administer life-saving treatments to minimize the effects of poisoning.
Gastric Distress and Bloat: Symptoms such as unproductive retching, abdominal pain, or a distended abdomen may indicate a potentially life-threatening condition. Our experts can intervene swiftly to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications.
