What Happens When You Arrive at the Emergency Vet

When you arrive, our emergency team will assess your dog immediately and begin any emergency treatment needed to stabilize their condition.

Our first priority is to quickly identify life-threatening problems, stabilize your dog’s condition, and begin the treatment they need as soon as possible.

1. Immediate Triage

Your dog will be assessed immediately for:

– Airway

– Breathing

– Circulation

– Signs of shock

– Pain level

If your dog has a life-threatening condition, emergency treatment will begin right away.

2. Stabilization

If your dog is unstable, our team will focus on stabilizing their condition before additional testing.

Stabilization may include:

– IV catheter placement

– Oxygen therapy, if needed

– Pain management

– Fluid therapy

– Treatment for shock

3. Diagnostic Testing

Once your dog is stable enough, diagnostic testing helps confirm whether your dog has bloat (GDV) and determine the most appropriate treatment.

Tests may include:

– Physical examination

– Bloodwork

– X-rays

– Ultrasound, if needed

– ECG and blood pressure monitoring

4. Emergency Treatment

Based on the examination and diagnostic findings, your veterinarian will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your dog.

If the stomach has twisted (GDV), emergency surgery may be needed to reposition the stomach and restore normal blood flow.

Treatment may include:

– Gastric decompression to relieve pressure.

– Emergency surgery to reposition the stomach and correct GDV.

– Gastropexy to help reduce the risk of recurrence.

5. Hospitalization & Monitoring

If your dog requires hospitalization, our team will continue to monitor their condition closely and provide supportive care throughout recovery.

Depending on your dog’s condition, this may include:

– Continuous ECG and blood pressure monitoring

– IV fluids and medications

– Pain management

– Oxygen therapy, if needed

– Monitoring for complications

Your veterinarian will adjust your dog’s treatment and monitoring plan based on their condition and recovery.
