We are able to perform an array of emergency surgeries including foreign body, cystotomy, pyometra, laceration repairs, and abdominal exploratory surgery. During surgery, we use a surgical ventilator as an added precaution to make sure anesthesia is as safe as possible for your pet.
Pet Oxygen Therapy
If your pet has been exposed to smoke inhalation or sustained wounds, we may use oxygen therapy to aid in their healing. This safe technology can improve your pet’s lung function and other respiratory problems as they recover.
Pet Fluid Therapy
IV fluids are often used to address dehydration and poor perfusion in pets. Many dehydrated patients are admitted for 24-48 hours for fluid therapy to get back on their feet. Fluid therapy aids in eliminating toxins and restoring crucial nutrients in your pet, especially following a surgical procedure or in cases of dehydration.
Pet Blood Transfusions
Our caring veterinary team offers life-saving pet blood transfusions to address conditions like anemia, blood loss, and severe illnesses. We always provide careful evaluations, compatible donor matching, and close monitoring throughout the process to ensure a successful procedure.
