Emergency and intensive care medicine
Emergency and intensive care medicine is a specialised branch of medicine that deals with the immediate treatment and monitoring of life-threatening, ill or injured patients. It includes initial treatment in emergencies (poisoning, trauma, obstetric emergencies), stabilisation of patients, emergency diagnostics as well as intensive care for patients with serious illnesses or after major surgical procedures. Including the creation of targeted treatment plans. Emergency and intensive care medicine requires fast and precise action as well as comprehensive expertise in pathophysiology, pharmacology and monitoring techniques. The aim is the optimal stabilisation and recovery of critically ill patients.

Surgery
Through a detailed examination of the patient, also with the help of the latest imaging technology, it is possible for our specialised and experienced surgeons to localise problems. Once the cause has been identified, further sensible steps for any extended diagnostics and therapy are discussed with the pet owner and the private veterinarian. All necessary operations can be performed directly in the clinic. After the surgical procedure, the patient's owner and private veterinarian are informed in detail. Our surgeons are available for further follow-up care in order to achieve the fastest possible recovery.

Internal medicine
Internal medicine is a very diverse field. Our internal medicine specialists study the patients' preliminary report in detail and carry out a general clinical examination. Further diagnostics, such as blood tests, imaging procedures or endoscopy, can confirm suspected diagnoses and find suitable treatment. The team has all the necessary equipment at its disposal so that the desired results can be achieved as quickly as possible.

Pain consultation, Rehabilitation, Palliative Care
Rehabilitation: After surgery, the crucial phase of rehabilitation begins. Our veterinarians and animal physiotherapists – specialised in rehabilitation and pain therapy for small animals – care for your pet with great dedication during this time. The goal is to shorten the recovery period and support long-term healing. A key part of our service offering in the Basel region includes osteopathy and hydrotherapy, for example using our underwater treadmill for dogs.
Pain Consultation and Palliative Care: Some patients experience pain that cannot be clearly diagnosed or fully treated. These animals also need ongoing support. In our specialised pain consultation, we care for geriatric patients and those with osteoarthritis or chronic conditions – where palliative care is essential. Together with specialists from various disciplines, we work with you to find the right accompanying therapies to sustainably improve your pet's quality of life.

Cardiology
Heart diseases are detected by a cardiological assessment, e.g. echocardiography, blood pressure measurement or an ECG. Our specialised cardiologist then draws up an individual therapy plan.

Imaging diagnostics
X-ray diagnostics very often enable a diagnosis - for example in the case of bone fractures or joint diseases. In addition, X-rays for internal medicine provide a valuable overview of the thoracic and abdominal organs. For some breeds, a radiographic screening for hip joint or elbow dysplasia is necessary for breeding approval.

Neurology
Neurology diagnoses and treats diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. If these structures become diseased, this manifests itself, for example, in the form of seizure disorders (epilepsy), balance disorders or paralysis (e.g. due to a slipped disc). Our neurology department also treats tumours, inflammations or infections of the brain or spinal cord. Animals with paralysis and non-orthopaedic lameness, but also with behavioural changes, seizures and reduced sensory perception, such as loss of hearing or vision, are cases for neurological examination. Our specialised doctors perform examinations such as imaging diagnostics, cerebrospinal fluid puncture and its microscopic examination, as well as electrodiagnostics to find the cause of a disease.
