Intensive Care

Sometimes, following surgery, or when pets have experienced severe trauma, or have come down with a sudden life-threatening illness, they need extra TLC. At times like these, continuous medical support and monitoring may be needed to stabilize pets and keep their vital functions going. LAVet Services provides for these needs with our intensive care services.

In the intensive care unit of our clinic, we will work to stabilize your pet’s condition; your pet will receive monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen levels. We are equipped to supply intravenous medication, fluids, and oxygen when necessary. Our experienced staff will also continually monitor pain levels and administer medication as needed.

The length of stay in intensive care is determined by the patient’s health condition and the type of ailment. Most pets have a short stay in intensive care because the healing capacity of animals is remarkable.

We are here to provide the highest quality care for all of our patients, and especially those who are in critical condition. When your pet is under our care, you can rest assured that we are doing everything possible to restore your loved one to good health and to provide compassion and tenderness along the way.

We are able to provide critical care for patients during our regular office hours. If a critical care patient needs overnight/ICU 24-hour care, after stabilizing the patient we recommend transfer to MedVet New Orleans.

  • “The staff here is incredible! I called with an emergency for my baby and was immediately given an appointment. When I arrived, they took us straight to the back and examined her right away. The doctor explained everything that needed to be done and worked quickly. After the procedure was finished, I was called to pick her up. The service was exceptional, and the price was surprisingly affordable! I expected it to be expensive and was shocked at the total. I’m definitely switching to this clinic for future care. It’s rare to find such amazing care at such an affordable price! "
