Emergency Medical Services for Dogs and Cats in Surrey

When your dog or cat needs urgent medical care overnight or on a weekend in Surrey, Mainland Animal Emergency Clinic is here. Our team provides critical medical services for dogs and cats during our after-hours operating hours: Monday through Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., and 24 hours on Saturday, Sunday, and statutory holidays. From blood transfusions and oxygen support to pain management and endocrine disease care, we stabilize and support your pet through some of the most critical moments they will face. Call (604) 588-4000.

Blood Transfusion

Severe blood loss, anemia, and systemic trauma can reduce your pet's red blood cell count to dangerous levels. Our team provides emergency blood transfusions for dogs and cats, carefully matching blood types and monitoring each patient closely throughout the procedure. Blood transfusions are often life-saving in cases of internal hemorrhage, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and major trauma. Each transfusion is administered with precision and continuous patient oversight to support stabilization and recovery.

Fluid Care and Intravenous Support

Dehydration, shock, and metabolic imbalance require prompt intravenous fluid support. We provide advanced fluid care tailored to your pet's specific condition, whether they are in hypovolemic shock, suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea, or recovering from a surgical procedure. Fluid care is one of the most important tools in emergency medicine, restoring circulation, supporting organ function, and stabilizing your pet's condition for further assessment and ongoing care.

Oxygen Support

Pets experiencing respiratory distress, heart failure, pneumonia, or trauma-related lung compromise require supplemental oxygen to stabilize their condition. Our clinic is equipped with an oxygen chamber and flow delivery systems to provide controlled oxygen support to dogs and cats in respiratory crisis. Oxygen support is often the first intervention performed on arrival when a pet is struggling to breathe, and it remains a cornerstone of critical care throughout the emergency visit.

Pain Management and Control

Unmanaged pain compromises recovery and can accelerate deterioration in critically ill or injured pets. Our team provides comprehensive pain assessment and management for dogs and cats experiencing acute pain from trauma, post-surgical recovery, or inflammatory conditions. We use multimodal approaches to address pain at multiple points in the pain pathway, prioritizing your pet's comfort and wellbeing throughout their time in our care.

Addison Disease Care

Addisonian crisis, a sudden and severe deficiency of adrenal hormones, is a life-threatening emergency that can mimic other conditions and is frequently missed without targeted assessment. If your pet collapses, becomes severely weak, or shows signs of shock, Addison disease may be the cause. Our team performs emergency hormonal assessment and provides supportive care to stabilize pets in adrenal crisis, followed by ongoing monitoring and care coordination to support long-term management of this condition.

Cushing Disease Management

Cushing disease, caused by chronically elevated cortisol levels, requires careful monitoring and medical management. Pets experiencing acute complications including infections, skin breakdown, or hypertensive crises may need urgent care. Our team performs hormonal assessment and provides supportive care to stabilize pets experiencing complications related to this endocrine condition, and we coordinate with your regular veterinarian to support ongoing management.

Continuous Critical Care

Critically ill pets require sustained monitoring and repeated assessment over the course of their stay. Our team provides continuous critical care for dogs and cats who need extended observation, intravenous support, repeated vital sign checks, and close medical oversight. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, stabilizing after a toxic ingestion, or managing a systemic illness, our overnight team is present and attentive throughout every hour of your pet's stay.
