After some medical procedures, or in the case of extreme illness, it is necessary to keep a vigilant eye on the vital signs of our pets including heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing ability. This type of care is referred to as Intensive Care. Lee’s Veterinary Hospital provides this type of above-and-beyond care to pet owners in Cullman, Vinemont, Fairview, West Point, and Good Hope, Alabama. Some conditions that may require a prolonged stay in our intensive care unit are:
- Renal Failure
- Sepsis
- Trauma
- Snake Bites
- Respiratory failure
- Congestive Heart Disease
- Recovery from Major Surgery
Our experienced doctors and technicians will consistently check and monitor your pet throughout the day and night to ensure they are in stable condition. This may include blood work, urinary output for kidney function, and blood pressure and heart rate monitoring.
When your pet is under our direct care, it is our mission to provide a controlled and caring environment. You can rest assured that your pet is in good hands with the experienced team of doctors and staff at Lee’s Veterinary Hospital.
