Intensive Care
Many medical diseases and injuries are complicated. Some are capable of changing rapidly thereby threatening your pet’s chances for recovery. These patients need to be monitored closely.
Pets recovering from surgery also need to be closely observed to ensure they are recovering from the anesthesia successfully.
At VSEC we provide 24 hour per day critical care services for your pet in our intensive care unit (lCU). Your pets vital signs, heart rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen levels, electrolytes and sugar levels are just some of the health parameters that can be monitored by our dedicated staff. By identifying problems early, timely alterations in your pet’s treatment can be made before serious problems have a chance to develop.
Intravenous fluid therapy, specific drug therapies, nutritional support, blood transfusions, oxygen supplementation, and pain relief, are just some of the treatments utilized to ensure that your pet has the best opportunity to recover from an illness or surgery. Our responsive and compassionate nursing staff ensures that your pet is comfortable and clean.
