A Better Life
Our state-of-the-art Emergency & Critical Care Service (ECC) provides ongoing care for critically ill or injured pets, as well as those recovering from surgery. Our primary goal is to provide immediate initial evaluation, stabilization, and treatment for ill or injured pets.
As part of the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH), our service is a conduit to the entire team of specialties to ensure the best possible care for your pet.
When you arrive at the VMTH, you will be received by a fourth-year veterinary student who will immediately transport your pet to our ECC unit to be initially evaluated and stabilized by the emergency veterinarian on duty.
Our team will create a treatment plan, which may require your pet to stay in the hospital or can be done on an outpatient basis, depending on the condition. Our team may also recommend transferring your pet to your primary veterinarian for follow-up care.
Our team consists of experienced emergency & critical care veterinarians who manage the service with support from interns, residents, fourth-year veterinary students, and our experienced technical staff.
Special Note:
Before our orthopedics service can accept patients experiencing complications from an orthopedic surgery (such as a TPLO) performed outside of Texas A&M, the referring clinic must provide a complete set of medical records/imaging and undergo a doctor-to-doctor consultation. This ensures our team can deliver the highest level of care to all patients.
