What Types of Emergency Services Are Provided at Pet ER?
The goal of any cat emergency hospital is to provide care for sudden or urgent feline medical needs, often when other veterinary clinics are either closed or can’t fit you in. Providing these essential services is something that Pet ER veterinarians take very seriously. Those services include:
Minor Outpatient Emergencies
Though cats tend to be less accident-prone than dogs, they can still get in their fair share of trouble, which may require a cat emergency hospital visit for things that don’t require hospitalization and that aren’t life-threatening. These would be things like mild digestive or respiratory illnesses, abscesses, or minor lacerations.
Major Emergencies
When a cat is experiencing something a little more severe than a minor cut, we’re here to give them the more intensive care that they need. Illnesses or injuries that require hospitalization for continued treatment or monitoring or that may need surgery include respiratory distress, a urinary blockage, intoxication, or severe dehydration.
Imaging
Imaging is essential in cat emergency care, helping diagnose, monitor, and treat many conditions. X-rays are ideal for bones, fractures, and foreign objects; ultrasounds provide detailed views of soft tissues and organs; CT scans offer advanced insights into the brain, spine, and internal organs; and endoscopy allows direct internal examination and treatment of the digestive, urinary, and respiratory systems.
Trauma Care
Broken bones, excessive bleeding, or severe swelling require immediate emergency care. Traumas like these may require short- or long-term supportive treatment or surgery.
Non-Trauma Surgeries
A cat may come to us for surgery for a number of reasons, often because of eating something that won’t pass through the digestive tract, a urinary stone that’s causing trouble, or a difficult birthing that requires a cesarean section.
Neurocritical Care
The nervous system is a special sort of animal, and when things go wrong with it, immediate treatment is necessary. Seizures, spinal cord injuries, or paralysis can be diagnosed and treated at Pet ER.
What to Expect When Visiting Pet ER Small Animal Emergency Hospital
Every emergency is different, but one thing remains the same—our first priority is identifying and treating life-threatening conditions as quickly as possible. Upon arrival, every patient is evaluated by our emergency team and triaged based on the severity of their condition. Pets with critical illnesses or injuries are stabilized immediately, while stable patients are evaluated as soon as possible. Please call ahead whenever possible to confirm current doctor availability and emergency intake.
Once your pet has been assessed, one of our veterinarians will obtain a detailed medical history, perform a comprehensive physical examination, and discuss the findings with you. Depending on your pet's condition, advanced diagnostics such as digital radiography, emergency ultrasound, echocardiography, CT imaging, in-house laboratory testing, or endoscopy may be recommended to quickly identify the underlying problem and guide treatment.
If your pet requires hospitalization, our hospital provides advanced intensive care (ICU), continuous monitoring, oxygen therapy, blood transfusion medicine, emergency surgery, and comprehensive postoperative care. Throughout your pet's stay, we will keep you informed, discuss treatment recommendations, expected costs, and prognosis, and answer your questions so you can make informed decisions about your pet's care.
Our goal is to provide compassionate communication, advanced emergency medicine, and the highest level of care possible for every patient entrusted to us.
