Emergency and Critical Care

Pet Emergency and Critical Care

Pets can experience sudden illnesses or injuries that require prompt treatment. Veterinarians receive training in emergency and critical care situations to help diagnose problems quickly so treatment can begin. At Coral Gables Animal Hospital in Coral Gables FL, we can help when your pet needs a safe environment for immediate critical care.

Urgent Care for Pets

Veterinary urgent care is defined as fast, convenient treatment for common health problems that are not life-threatening, but still require prompt attention to reduce pain and restore function. Pet owners seek urgent care for health issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, minor wounds, limping, eye problems, ear infections, urinary infections, loss of appetite, and other problems. If you call ahead, we will clear a place in our schedule so we can provide care for your pet's urgent condition as quickly as possible.

Identifying an Emergency

Emergency veterinary care involves more serious illnesses or injuries in which immediate care is critical to saving the life of the animal. Our well-equipped team of veterinarians can provide the fast treatment needed to preserve life and normal function. Common pet emergencies include: 

  • Bleeding from wounds or dog bite injuries
  • Blunt force trauma to the body, from a car accident, a fall, or a different traumatic event
  • Toxic ingestion resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stool, lethargy, or unconsciousness
  • Allergic reactions that may cause breathing problems or other severe symptoms
  • Coughing, choking or difficulty breathing that indicates the animal is in obvious distress
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty urinating or defecating normally
  • Obvious signs of distress, such as depression, yelping, whining or groaning  

Our veterinarian will evaluate your pet’s health to identify and address the root cause of their severe symptoms. Treatment provided will vary depending on the cause and severity of your pet’s condition.
