When Every Second Counts: Emergency and Critical Care at Tierklinik Basel

In emergencies, rapid and targeted help is essential. The experienced team at the Tierklinik Basel, led by Dr. med. vet. Audrey Tinsman, a specialist in emergency and critical care, is available around the clock to immediately assist severely injured or acutely ill animals. In cases of accidents, poisoning, or obstetric emergencies, swift action can be life-saving.
As a medical specialty, emergency and critical care focuses on the immediate treatment and monitoring of patients suffering from life-threatening illnesses or injuries.
Emergency Medicine
The primary goal of emergency medicine is to provide first aid and stabilize the patient as quickly as possible in order to save their life. In emergencies such as poisoning, trauma, or obstetric complications, it is crucial to assess the patient’s condition within minutes to initiate the right measures for stabilization and treatment. With a well-coordinated team, state-of-the-art technology, extensive experience, and highly trained veterinarians, we can quickly identify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
Critical Care
Severely ill patients who require intensive care and continuous monitoring are admitted to our intensive care unit. These patients need round-the-clock observation, specialized nursing care, and often specific medication. The unit is equipped with advanced monitoring devices that allow constant tracking of vital parameters and immediate intervention by our expert team if necessary. Our critical care patients often include animals recovering from accidents, major surgeries, acute respiratory distress, or intoxications. Individual treatment plans are developed and continuously adapted with great care. The ultimate goal is always to stabilize the patient and achieve full recovery.
Whether a sudden emergency or intensive care is required, the team at the Basel Veterinary Clinic is here for you and your beloved pet – reliable, professional, and highly experienced in providing the care your animal needs in critical situations.
