EMERGENCY TRIAGE
How Emergency Veterinary Triage Works
Emergency triage is the process of rapidly identifying pets with life-threatening illnesses or injuries so treatment can begin without delay. At Pet ER Small Animal Emergency Hospital, every patient is evaluated upon arrival and prioritized according to the severity of their condition rather than the order in which they arrive.
Our emergency team quickly assesses pets experiencing breathing difficulty, collapse, severe weakness, trauma, poisoning, seizures, inability to walk, urinary obstruction, and other potentially life-threatening emergencies. Patients requiring immediate stabilization receive priority care, while stable patients are evaluated as soon as possible.
Following triage, advanced diagnostics—including digital radiography, emergency ultrasound, echocardiography, CT imaging, and in-house laboratory testing—may be recommended to rapidly identify the underlying problem and guide treatment decisions.
Please call ahead whenever possible to confirm current doctor availability and emergency intake.
Airway
We rapidly evaluate the airway for obstruction, swelling, trauma, or other conditions that may compromise breathing.
Breathing
Our emergency team assesses breathing effort, oxygenation, and lung function while providing oxygen therapy and respiratory support when indicated.
Circulation
Heart rate, blood pressure, hydration, perfusion, and circulation are evaluated to identify shock, internal bleeding, cardiovascular instability, or other critical conditions.
Disability (Neurologic Status)
- Neurologic function is assessed by evaluating consciousness, coordination, gait, weakness, paralysis, seizures, and other abnormalities that may indicate brain or spinal disease.
Emergency triage allows our team to focus first on pets with the most critical conditions while ensuring every patient receives timely medical attention.
Following stabilization, our hospital provides advanced emergency diagnostics, emergency surgery, intensive care (ICU), blood transfusion medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and comprehensive postoperative care when required.

CRITICAL CARE
Emergency Stabilization for Critically Ill Pets
When pets arrive with serious illness or injury, rapid stabilization is the first priority. At Pet ER Small Animal Emergency Hospital, our emergency team quickly evaluates airway, breathing, circulation, neurologic status, pain, and overall cardiovascular stability while initiating life-saving treatment when necessary. Please call ahead to confirm current doctor availability and emergency intake whenever possible.
Depending on your pet's condition, emergency stabilization may include oxygen therapy, intravenous catheter placement, fluid resuscitation, pain management, emergency laboratory testing, blood pressure and ECG monitoring, blood transfusion medicine, and advanced diagnostic imaging. Every treatment plan is individualized to stabilize your pet as safely and efficiently as possible.
Once stabilized, our hospital provides advanced diagnostic capabilities including CT imaging, emergency ultrasound, echocardiography, digital radiography, in-house laboratory testing, and flexible and rigid endoscopy to rapidly identify the underlying cause of illness or injury. When surgery is required, our emergency team provides comprehensive emergency surgical care followed by intensive postoperative monitoring in our ICU.
Stable patients may be discharged with medications, home-care instructions, and scheduled rechecks when appropriate. Patients requiring continued treatment receive intensive care, continuous monitoring, and ongoing communication with their families throughout hospitalization.
