📋 Protocols & Costs
Stabilization and Transfer: How does it work?
For serious cases (e.g., blocked cat, respiratory distress), we act as an emergency room:
- We diagnose the condition (X-rays, bloodwork).
- We stop the crisis (oxygen, pain management, IV catheter).
- Once your pet is stable, we arrange their transfer to a 24/7 center for overnight care.
Emergency Surgeries (Pyometra, Foreign Body)
We perform life-saving surgeries under strict conditions:
- Early arrival (before noon).
- Patient stable for anesthesia.
- Pre-arranged transfer: A spot at a 24/7 ICU must be confirmed for post-operative care.
Cost Transparency
In case of transfer, you will receive two separate invoices:
- 1. Our Clinic: Examination, diagnostics, stabilization, daytime surgery.
- 2. 24/7 Hospital: Overnight hospitalization and continuous monitoring.
A detailed estimate will be provided after the initial examination.
