Veterinary emergency refers to urgent medical situations involving animals that require immediate attention from a veterinarian. These emergencies can include severe injuries, sudden illnesses, or life-threatening conditions that cannot wait for a regular appointment. Common examples are car accidents, poisoning, or difficulty breathing. In a veterinary emergency, prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the animal's survival and recovery. Many veterinary clinics have specialized emergency services or are affiliated with animal hospitals that operate 24/7 to provide care during critical situations. Pet owners should be aware of the signs of emergencies to seek help quickly.
