Emergency Vet Clinic
When your pet needs urgent care, waiting is not an option. Plus One Vet in Nundah provides emergency vet appointments during opening hours for dogs, cats, and exotic animals. Our clinic is equipped with on-site diagnostics, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and a surgical suite, so your pet gets the assessment and treatment they need without being referred elsewhere.
If you think your pet needs urgent attention, call us before you arrive so our team can prepare for your arrival.
Signs Your Pet Needs Urgent Veterinary Care
Not every situation is easy to read. If your dog or cat is showing any of the following signs, contact us straight away rather than waiting to see if things improve.
- Difficulty breathing, laboured breathing, or open-mouth breathing in cats
- Collapse, sudden weakness, or inability to stand
- Pale, white, blue, or grey gums
- Suspected poisoning or toxin ingestion
- Seizures or uncontrolled trembling
- Severe or uncontrolled bleeding
- Suspected broken bones or serious injury
- Repeated vomiting or dry retching, particularly in large or deep-chested dogs
- Inability to urinate, especially in male cats
- Eye injuries or sudden loss of vision
- Snake bite or cane toad exposure
- Suspected tick paralysis
If you are unsure whether your pet’s situation is urgent, call us. Our team can help you assess the situation over the phone and advise on the next step.

What to Expect When You Arrive
When you call ahead, our team will be ready for you. On arrival, your pet will be triaged and assessed as quickly as possible. We prioritise patients based on clinical urgency, so pets in immediate danger are seen first.
Our team will walk you through everything, including what we are doing, why, and what it is likely to cost, before we proceed with any treatment. You will not be left in the dark during what can be a stressful experience.
