When Does a Pet Need Critical Care?

Critical care is not always obvious at first glance. Some pets arrive in clear distress, while others appear stable but require close observation because their condition can shift quickly.

An ICU stay may be recommended for pets who:

Have experienced trauma, such as being hit by a car or suffering severe injuries
Are struggling with breathing and need oxygen support
Have ingested toxic substances and require ongoing monitoring
Are recovering from emergency surgery
Show signs of internal illness that need continuous evaluation
Are dealing with severe dehydration, infection, or systemic disease
Have experienced collapse, seizures, or neurological changes

In these situations, pets benefit from being closely observed so changes can be addressed immediately.
