Abstract

Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (VECC) is an indispensable facet of veterinary medicine, dedicated to addressing life-threatening situations in animals. This article delves into the crucial role played by VECC specialists and the pivotal interventions they employ to rescue and safeguard the lives of animals during emergencies. Recognizing common veterinary emergencies, such as trauma, toxicity, respiratory distress, cardiac arrest, and heatstroke, is essential. VECC specialists are equipped with a spectrum of life-saving interventions, including Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), surgical procedures, intensive care, toxin management, fluid therapy, pain management, and blood transfusions.
