Dog & Cat Critical Nursing Care and ICU in Gansevoort, NY

When your pet faces a medical emergency, they need expert care and close monitoring to ensure the best possible outcome. At Northway Animal Emergency Clinic, we provide advanced critical nursing care and ICU services tailored to pets in urgent need. While we are not currently a 24/7 facility, our team is dedicated to delivering life-saving care during our operating hours and ensuring a smooth transition to your primary veterinarian or a specialty facility for continued treatment when needed.

What is Critical Nursing Care?

Critical nursing care involves intensive monitoring and support for pets with life-threatening conditions or those recovering from emergency procedures. At Northway Animal Emergency Clinic, our skilled veterinary nurses and technicians work closely with our doctors to provide hands-on, compassionate care for patients who need:

  • IV fluid therapy to address dehydration or shock

  • Pain management to keep pets comfortable during recovery

  • Wound care to promote healing and prevent infection

  • Nutritional support for pets unable to eat on their own

  • Medication administration to stabilize critical conditions

  • Oxygen therapy for breathing difficulties

Advanced Pet ICU Capabilities

Our ICU is equipped with advanced tools to monitor and treat pets in critical condition. These include:

  • Oxygen chambers for pets needing respiratory support

  • Continuous monitoring of vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels

  • In-house laboratory testing for rapid diagnostics

  • Digital imaging to evaluate internal injuries or illnesses

By combining cutting-edge technology with compassionate care, we provide the immediate attention your pet needs during a crisis.

Seamless Transitions for Continued Care

Because we are not a 24/7 facility, pets requiring ongoing critical care or overnight monitoring will need to be transferred to your primary veterinarian or a 24-hour specialty hospital at the end of our operating hours. We coordinate these transitions to ensure your pet’s care remains uninterrupted to support their recovery, providing detailed medical records and updates to the receiving veterinary team.

A Lifeline for Your Pet’s Health

At Northway Animal Emergency Clinic, we are here to provide expert critical care when it matters most, helping your pet through their most vulnerable moments with skill, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
