Unlike a regular veterinarian, an emergency animal doctors  is trained to provide critical care for animals. This is a very specialized field of veterinary medicine that involves ongoing care for patients. Those who choose this career must have a DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) degree and at least four to five years of training.

An emergency vet must have strong communication skills. This is essential to being able to assess and treat animals in a calm manner. It is also important for the veterinarian to be compassionate and flexible.

An emergency animal doctor can expect to work very long hours. Some of these hours will be after dark and on weekends. An emergency veterinarian will need to be able to think creatively and come up with solutions that suit the pet’s needs. This job can be very stressful.

Many clinics offer 24-hour care. These services include triage, which identifies and treats the most critical patients. They also offer a variety of routine veterinary care.

What is my Pet’s Risk of Cancer

A typical visit to an emergency veterinary clinic is similar to a trip to the human emergency room. The vet will talk with the pet’s owner about the condition and discuss possible treatment options. The vet may also ask the owner to sign a few papers.

If the dog is having trouble breathing, the veterinarian will set up an intravenous fluid supply to give life-saving treatments. The vet will discuss a prognosis and the cost of the care.
