Emergency Services

Emergency is a 24x7 service with round-the-clock availability of trauma team and on-call specialists. The Casualty ward provides round-the-clock medical observation to needy patients who are either sent home after initial treatment or are admitted as indoor patients depending on the need. The Resuscitation Bay has been made to take care of trauma patients.

Day or night, we are ready and equipped to care for your pet no matter what the emergency.

Emergency veterinary medicine closely parallels emergency human medicine. Emergencies commonly arise from the same types of sources: Trauma such as dog fights, cat bites, being hit by a car; Medical emergencies such as a diabetic crisis, seizures, severe dehydration from profuse vomiting and diarrhea, or toxicities: either accidental or environmental: over-dosage of medication, pets ingesting household products or human medications, etc. acute, severe changes in a pet's status: heart failure, bleeding internally, etc.

The process of treating the emergent patient is therefore much the same as you have seen in a human emergency room: triage, diagnosis, and treatment. When a patient comes to the Care Center ER, they will first be triaged to identify how critical they are. Patients will be treated in order of their medical condition, not necessarily in order of arrival. So the first thing that must be done is to determine if they are critical. The patient is then examined in the appropriate order, and a diagnostic and treatment plan formulated. The emergency veterinarian will then discuss this plan with you, and cover any questions you may have.

If admitted to the hospital, the emergency staff will call you if there is a change in your pet's condition, or if there is new information to be discussed with you. Because we are fully staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, you are always welcome to call in to ask about your pet's condition, and our nursing staff will be happy to give you an update.
