What Happens at an Emergency Vet Hospital?

Step 1. Assessment & Triage
When you arrive, the first step is to check in your pet at reception and provide details about their condition. A veterinary nurse will perform a quick evaluation to determine the severity of their symptoms to ensure that the most critical cases receive immediate attention.
Step 2. Examination & Diagnosis
You will be asked about your pet’s medical history and any recent incidents. The vet will then perform a detailed physical exam, and depending on the findings, the vet may order diagnostic tests or imaging studies to pinpoint the problem.


Step 3. Emergency Treatment
Based on the diagnosis, immediate treatment may be needed. This can include medications, fluid therapy, oxygen therapy, or wound care.
Step 4. Advanced Surgery or Scans
Medical procedures may be required for severe cases, with emergency surgery often the option for life-threatening conditions. For complex cases that require more investigation, an MRI or CT scan may be needed.


Step 5. Monitoring & Hospitalisation
If your pet’s condition requires ongoing care, they may be admitted to the hospital and placed in ICU for constant monitoring of vital signs such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Ongoing care can also include continued IV fluids, nutritional support, and other medications or treatments.
Step 6. Discharge & Aftercare
Once your pet is stable and ready to go home, your vet will provide instructions on how to care for them, including medication schedules and activity restrictions. You may also be advised to schedule follow-up appointments.
