Emergency Veterinary & Critical Care for Pets

Emergency & Critical Care

Dr Nadine graduated in 2014 from the University of Nottingham Veterinary School in the UK. After four years of out of hours emergency work, she decided to pursue her love of managing critically ill patients by doing a rotating internship at the Royal Veterinary College in London followed by an ECC specialty internship at the University of Edinburgh Veterinary School. She then started her residency in Emergency and Critical Care in 2020 at the Royal Veterinary College which she completed in 2023 alongside a Masters degree in Veterinary Medicine. She has since passed her board exams in 2023 to become a specialist of the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. Her particular interests include management of septic patients, transfusion medicine and extracorporeal therapies. Outside of work she loves yoga, running and travelling (hence the big move to Singapore!)

Emergency & Critical Care (ECC)

There are times your beloved dog or cat, or small exotic pets (like rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, etc.,) may experience an animal emergency. This may result from a sudden illness, the deterioration of an existing medical condition, or the need for critical care following complex surgery.

When you arrive at Beecroft Hospital, our Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care nurses will ask for your pet’s symptoms and other relevant information to help our ECC team establish

if your cat, dog, or small exotic pets (like rabbits, chinchillad, hamsters, etc.,) requires immediate, life-saving intervention, or if your pet is stable enough to wait their turn in the triage line.

We utilise the following triage chart to help us prioritise critical pets. Your patience and understanding are appreciated.
