Pet Emergency Surgery
At Gippsland Pet Emergency, we understand that critical situations can arise suddenly, putting your pet’s life in danger. In these moments, prompt and expert care is essential, which is why we offer emergency surgery for trauma, blockages, and life-threatening injuries. Our skilled surgical team is available over the weekends and public holidays to provide immediate intervention, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care when it matters most.
Emergency Surgery for Critical Conditions
Whether your pet has been involved in an accident, eaten something they shouldn’t have, or is suffering from a life-threatening injury, our hospital is equipped to handle a wide range of emergency surgeries, including:
Trauma repair: Injuries from car accidents, falls, or other trauma can lead to internal bleeding, fractures, and severe wounds. Our team acts quickly to stabilise and surgically treat these conditions to prevent further complications.
Foreign body removal/blockages: Pets often swallow objects that can cause dangerous blockages in the gastrointestinal tract. These obstructions can lead to severe pain, infection, and life-threatening complications if not treated immediately. Our surgical team is skilled in removing blockages to restore normal function.
Internal injuries: Conditions such as ruptured organs, severe lacerations, or internal bleeding require immediate surgical intervention. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to accurately diagnose and treat these injuries with precision and care.
Emergency Caesarean (C-section): When a pet experiences complications during labor, an emergency caesarean is necessary to save both the mother and her puppies or kittens. We are prepared to perform this surgery swiftly to ensure the best outcome.
GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus): This life-threatening condition, also known as bloat, causes the stomach to twist, cutting off blood supply. Immediate surgery is crucial to save the pet’s life and prevent further complications.
