Gippsland Pet Emergency - Pet Pain Management
  • Medication: We use a variety of safe and effective pain-relieving medications, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and local anaesthetics. These medications are carefully chosen based on your pet’s condition, weight, and individual needs to provide optimal relief.
  • Local and Regional Anaesthesia: In cases requiring surgery or localised treatments, our team employs local and regional anaesthesia techniques to numb specific areas of your pet’s body. This ensures they remain comfortable during and after the procedure.
  • Multimodal Pain Management: For more complex or severe cases, we combine multiple pain relief strategies, including medications, injections, and even physical therapy options to manage pain from different angles, providing comprehensive and long-lasting relief.

What is an emergency?

A pet emergency is any sudden and severe health issue that requires immediate veterinary attention to prevent serious harm or death. Common emergencies include difficulty breathing, seizures, trauma from accidents, poisoning, or severe pain.

If your pet shows signs of distress, rapid medical intervention is often necessary to stabilise their condition and prevent further complications.

What is NOT an emergency?
Non-emergencies for pets include routine care such as vaccinations, grooming, and annual check-ups. These services are important for maintaining your pet's health but don't require immediate attention. Issues like mild skin irritations, slight limping without pain, or occasional vomiting may also be monitored at home before scheduling a regular vet visit.
