Our surgical team is equipped to handle acute, life-threatening situations for cats and dogs, including abdominal emergencies, foreign body removal, emergency C-sections, cystotomies, and severe lacerations.

Triage, Surgery, and Day Hospitalization

How Emergency Pet Surgeries Are Handled in Our Clinic

The moment your pet arrives at Urgent Paws, our triage-based model ensures the most severe cases are prioritized. Our veterinary team quickly assesses your pet’s condition, stabilizing them as needed before moving forward with surgery. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including in-house labs, digital standing X-rays for pets with mobility challenges, and point-of-care ultrasound, to guide surgical decisions. Procedures performed include emergency abdominal exploratory surgery, C-sections for laboring pets, foreign body removal, cystotomy, and laceration repair. All anesthesia and pain management is closely monitored by our experienced nursing staff. Following surgery, pets are closely observed in our day hospitalization unit, where we provide IV fluids, oxygen therapy if needed, and round-the-clock monitoring during business hours. For cases requiring overnight or ICU-level care, we stabilize your pet and arrange a safe transfer to a 24-hour hospital, ensuring no lapse in critical care. Owners receive clear updates throughout the process, and all records are promptly communicated back to your primary vet.
