PawPoint is not an emergency service

If it's an emergency, go to a clinic now.

An online consult cannot put a drip in, stop bleeding or unblock a bladder. Use this page to decide fast, then travel to the nearest 24-hour animal hospital.

Go in person immediately if you see

  • Collapse, unresponsiveness or seizures
  • Struggling to breathe, blue or pale gums
  • Heavy bleeding that will not stop
  • Suspected poisoning (rat bait, chocolate, medicines, antifreeze)
  • Swollen, hard abdomen with retching — possible bloat
  • Straining to urinate, especially a male cat
  • Road traffic accident, fall or bite wound
  • Whelping/queening longer than 30 minutes with no delivery
  • Heatstroke — panting, drooling, unsteady after sun exposure

While you travel

  • Call the clinic first so they can prepare for your arrival.
  • Keep the animal warm, quiet and confined — a towel-lined carrier or box.
  • Do not give human painkillers. Paracetamol and ibuprofen can kill cats and dogs.
  • For bleeding, press a clean cloth firmly over the wound and keep the pressure on.
  • For heatstroke, wet the coat with cool (not iced) water and keep air moving.
  • For suspected poisoning, bring the packet or a photo of what was eaten.
  • Do not induce vomiting unless a vet has told you to.

Finding a 24-hour clinic in Karachi

Overnight cover in Karachi changes often, so always phone ahead rather than relying on a list. Search “24 hour animal hospital near me” on Maps, check the clinic is answering the phone, and confirm a vet — not only a receptionist — is on site before you set off. Larger hospitals in Clifton, DHA and Gulshan-e-Iqbal are the most likely to have overnight staffing.

Keep your own regular clinic's number saved in your phone today, before you need it.

Not an emergency?

Skin issues, mild tummy upsets, diet and behaviour questions, medication reviews and recheck visits are all well suited to a video consult.
