When Does a Pet Need Emergency Surgery?

Some pet emergencies can be managed with medication or supportive care, but others require surgery to prevent further harm or save a life. Common situations that may require urgent surgery include:

• Internal bleeding – Caused by trauma, ruptured organs, or tumors.
• Blocked intestines – Often from swallowing objects like toys, bones, or fabric.
• Severe wounds – Deep cuts, punctures, or injuries that won’t stop bleeding.
• Twisted stomach (Bloat/GDV) – A life-threatening condition where the stomach fills with gas and twists.
• Difficult labor – If a mother struggles to deliver her puppies or kittens, an emergency C-section may be needed.
• Bladder obstructions – Common in male cats, a blocked urinary tract can quickly turn fatal.

What to Expect in an Emergency Surgery Situation

When an emergency happens, panic is natural, but staying as calm as possible will help your pet feel safe. The moment you arrive at our clinic, our team quickly evaluates the situation and stabilizes your pet. This may include oxygen therapy, IV fluids, or pain management before surgery begins. The surgical procedure depends on the condition, but our experienced veterinarians work with precision to address the problem while keeping your pet’s safety as the top priority. After surgery, pets are closely monitored in recovery, ensuring they wake up comfortably and begin the healing process.

The Road to Recovery

Emergency surgery is just the first step—proper aftercare is just as important. Depending on the procedure, recovery may involve:

• Pain management – Medications to keep pets comfortable.
• Limited activity – Rest is essential for healing, so jumping and running should be restricted.
• Wound care – Incisions may need to be cleaned and monitored for infection.
• Diet adjustments – Some surgeries require temporary changes in food and water intake.
