Pet Trauma & Injury Care
Pet Trauma & Injury Care
At Gippsland Pet Emergency, we understand that accidents can happen without warning, leaving your pet in need of immediate, specialised care. Whether your pet has been involved in a car accident, sustained a serious wound, or suffered a broken bone, our emergency trauma and injury care services are here to provide life-saving treatment when every second counts.
Comprehensive Trauma and Injury Care
When your pet experiences a traumatic injury, it’s essential to get them to expert care as soon as possible. Our hospital is fully equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and ultrasounds, to quickly assess the severity of your pet’s injuries. We treat a wide range of trauma-related conditions.
Our Pet Trauma & Injury Care Services include:
- Fractures and broken bones: Whether your pet has a minor fracture or a more severe break, we offer immediate stabilisation and treatment. This may involve splinting, casting, or surgical intervention to repair the injury and promote healing.
- Lacerations and wounds: Deep cuts, punctures, or abrasions require prompt attention to prevent infection and promote healing. Our team provides wound cleaning, stitching, and, when necessary, surgical debridement to ensure a safe recovery.
- Internal injuries: Accidents such as being hit by a car can lead to internal bleeding or organ damage. Our skilled veterinary team works quickly to stabilise your pet and provide necessary treatments, including surgery if required.
Emergency Surgery and Critical Care
In cases of severe trauma, emergency surgery may be required to repair broken bones, internal damage, or life-threatening wounds. Our skilled surgeons are available every weekend to provide immediate intervention, ensuring your pet receives the critical care they need. Following surgery, pets are closely monitored in our intensive care unit (ICU) to ensure a safe and painless recovery.
