What to Expect During an Emergency Visit

1. Initial Assessment: Upon arrival, your pet will undergo an immediate assessment to determine the severity of their condition. This may involve a physical examination, basic diagnostic tests, and triage prioritisation to identify life-threatening concerns.
2. Stabilisation: In cases where your pet’s condition is critical, we’ll begin stabilisation right away, addressing issues such as dehydration, shock and breathing difficulties.
3. Treatment & Monitoring: Depending on the diagnosis, we will initiate the necessary treatment plan, which may include medications, surgery or intensive care. Throughout, we will closely monitor your pet’s vital signs and adjust care as needed.
4. Communication: We believe in clear and compassionate communication. Our team will keep you informed at every stage, explaining your pet’s condition, the treatments being provided and the expected outcomes.
5. Post-Emergency Care: After stabilisation, we’ll provide you with clear instructions for follow-up care and recovery at home. If needed, we’ll coordinate with your regular veterinary practice for ongoing care.
