Acute collapse is a common presenting complaint in first-opinion practice and can be a source of enormous stress for inexperienced clinicians. There is a vast list of differential diagnoses, ranging in severity from conditions requiring only simple treatment (e.g. osteoarthritis in an old dog) to those where there is immediate life-threatening compromise (e.g. haemoperitoneum). This chapter looks at the immediate considerations, history, observation, physical examination and diagnostic tests.
