Emergency Veterinarian Care

• Emergency veterinary care is immediate medical treatment for pets facing sudden and serious health issues or injuries. It differs from regular veterinary visits, which are typically for routine checkups or non-urgent issues. Emergency care is required when a pet’s health situation escalates, requiring immediate intervention to stabilize them or prevent further harm.

  Common reasons for seeking emergency veterinary care include:

  • Accidents or trauma (such as being hit by a vehicle or falling from a height)

  • Severe allergic reactions (including swelling of the face, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis)

  • Ingestion of toxic substances (like household chemicals, chocolate, or plants)

  • Choking or breathing difficulties

  • Severe bleeding

  • Severe vomiting or diarrhea (especially if it’s continuous)

  • Seizures or neurological issues

  • Abdominal distension or bloating (which may indicate a life-threatening condition like gastric dilatation volvulus or bloat)

  At MediVets, our team is prepared to handle these emergencies 24/7 with the latest equipment and procedures to ensure your pet’s well-being.

• Accidents and Trauma Injuries due to accidents are one of the most common causes for emergency visits to a veterinarian. Our team is skilled in treating fractures, internal injuries, and other trauma-related conditions. We offer imaging technology such as X-rays to assess the extent of the injury and provide appropriate treatment, including surgery when needed.

• Poisoning If your pet ingests something toxic, time is critical. In cases of poisoning, our emergency veterinarians will quickly assess your pet and provide treatments such as inducing vomiting, administering activated charcoal, or intravenous fluids to counteract the poison. We also offer specialized care depending on the substance ingested, whether it's chemicals, plants, or foods like chocolate or grapes.

• Breathing Problems Difficulty breathing is a serious condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. It can be caused by asthma, allergic reactions, infections, or injuries to the respiratory system. At MediVets, we have the equipment to diagnose and treat breathing problems, including oxygen therapy, nebulization, and airway management.

• Seizures Seizures can be caused by a variety of factors, including poisoning, infections, or neurological conditions. During an emergency visit, we stabilize the pet by controlling the seizures and conducting diagnostic tests to determine the cause. Long-term management may include medication and regular monitoring.

• Gastrointestinal Distress Vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating can indicate a range of serious conditions such as infections, obstructions, or inflammation. In cases of bloating, especially with dogs, immediate treatment is necessary to prevent life-threatening complications. Our team will quickly assess the situation, perform diagnostics, and treat your pet appropriately.

While we hope that your pet never experiences a medical emergency, it's always a good idea to be prepared. Here are some tips to help you handle an emergency situation:

• Know the signs of an emergency: Learn to recognize symptoms like severe vomiting, difficulty breathing, seizures, or excessive bleeding, which warrant immediate veterinary attention.

• Have an emergency contact list: Keep the contact information of your emergency veterinarian handy. If you’re in Kolkata, save our clinic’s number for quick access during urgent times.

• Prepare a pet first-aid kit: Having basic first-aid supplies such as bandages, gauze, and antiseptic can be helpful in emergencies before you reach the clinic.

• Stay calm: In an emergency, keeping a level head allows you to take swift action and provides comfort to your pet.
