Intensive Care
The intensive care services at Danner Veterinary Hospital are provided for patients in the Tulsa
area who are in life-threatening condition, and who need continuous monitoring and support
from equipment and medication to keep normal body functions going. Many patients needing
intensive care are suffering from a sudden illness, serious medical condition, or trauma, but
some require it following a major surgery when they are too unstable for care elsewhere.
In the intensive care unit of our hospital, your pet will receive continuous monitoring of blood
pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygen levels. Our experienced staff will also
continually monitor pain levels, and administer medication as needed.
At Danner Veterinary Hospital, we are aware that this can be a stressful time for you and your
pet, so we want you to rest assured that your loved one is in good hands. The duration of time
spent in intensive care depends on the condition of your pet as well as the nature of your pet’s
illness. Usually a short stay is expected as animals have amazing healing capabilities.
Every patient is given constant loving attention by our compassionate, knowledgeable team to
get your pet healthy and back to you as soon as possible.
