What happens when a pet is admitted to hospital?

When a dog or cat needs to be hospitalised, their admission is organised according to their clinical condition, the recommended treatment and the level of monitoring required. The aim is to monitor their progress, provide the necessary care and assess when they can continue their recovery at home.

1. Initial assessment and admission

The decision to admit a pet to hospital is made following a veterinary examination. During this assessment, we review the symptoms, the pet’s medical history, the treatments the pet is currently receiving, and any previous test results.

If the cause of the problem is not yet known, it may be necessary to start with a veterinary practice and carry out tests to help guide the diagnosis.

2. Individualised care plan

Each patient receives a plan tailored to their individual circumstances. Depending on the reason for admission, this may include:

  • Administration of medication.

  • Fluid therapy.

  • Monitoring hydration.

  • Pain assessment and management.

  • Monitoring of temperature, appetite and other vital signs.

  • Wound care and management.

  • Nutritional support where indicated.

  • Monitoring of response to treatment.

When a pet is admitted following surgery, we coordinate its recovery with the services of veterinary surgery y anaesthesia and analgesia.

3. Testing and monitoring progress

During the patient’s stay, tests may be required to monitor their progress or adjust their treatment.

Depending on the individual case, the following may be recommended:

  • A blood tests to assess haematological parameters, inflammation and the function of various organs.

  • A urinalysis to assess urinary and kidney function.

  • A veterinary X-ray to examine the chest, abdomen, bones or other structures.

  • A veterinary ultrasound to assess internal organs and tissues.

  • Further tests, depending on the symptoms and the results obtained.

Where a patient has a complex condition or where it is necessary to investigate abnormalities affecting several organs, follow-up care can be coordinated by the department of veterinary internal medicine.

4. Information for families

During your pet’s stay in hospital, we will keep you informed about their progress, their response to treatment and the next steps we plan to take.

The team will also advise you on whether visits are appropriate and how to organise them so as to respect patients’ treatments, hygiene and rest periods.

To help us understand your needs better, it is important that you let us know:

  • The medication you usually take.

  • Any previous allergies or reactions.

  • Diagnosed conditions.

  • Recent changes in their appetite, behaviour or activity.

  • Reports and results from other veterinary practices.

  • Special dietary or handling requirements.

Before you leave, we’ll explain:

  • Which medication you should give and at what times.

  • What food can he eat?

  • How much exercise or rest you need.

  • How to look after wounds, dressings or stitches.

  • What changes you should keep an eye out for.
