Emergency Medications for Critical Conditions
Our veterinary team is here to rapidly assess and administer emergency medications for a variety of conditions, including:
- Seizures: Pets suffering from sudden seizures require immediate intervention to prevent further harm. We have anticonvulsant medications on hand which help stabilise your pet’s condition and prevent recurring episodes.
- Allergic reactions: If your pet experiences a severe allergic reaction due to insect stings, food, or environmental factors, we can administer fast-acting treatments to reduce swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylactic shock.
- Shock: Pets experiencing trauma, blood loss, or severe dehydration can go into shock, which requires rapid fluid therapy and medications to stabilise blood pressure and support vital organs. Our hospital is fully stocked with IV fluids and medications to treat shock and support recovery.
- Respiratory distress: Pets struggling to breathe due to asthma, heart failure, or respiratory infections are treated with medications like bronchodilators and oxygen therapy to relieve distress and stabilise their breathing.
