What will treatment be like for my cat once we get to the hospital?

If they are hurting or they're bleeding, it might involve some type of sedation. They’ll need blood work if we feel like your pet has ingested something or is having an emergency due to internal concerns. There may also be imaging like x-rays or ultrasound. That's kind of a vague question, but normally, after the initial physical exam, we'll give you what we call a treatment plan to assess what's most important diagnostics that will give us the most information to know how to best treat your pet. That treatment plan doesn't mean that's all there is. That gets you started and may lead you in different directions.
