A mobile livestock intensive care unit for providing intensive medical care to animals. The Unit provides administration of controlled temperature intravenous and subcutaneous fluids and medicines with external heat to the animal and the monitoring of specific bodily functions. The unit includes a restraining area for housing the animal with folding sides to permit access to the animal. The front of the unit is supported by two wheels with the rear being supported by two legs. Handles extend above the legs to permit the rear of the unit to be lifted and moved about on wheels to a desired location. A control cabinet is positioned above the restraining area and includes a temperature controlled fluid/medication chamber for the storing and administration of temperture controlled fluids and medications. A control chamber, adjacent the fluid/medication chamber, controls and monitors the operation of the unit and houses necessary bodily functioning monitoring equipment. Heat is provided to the fluid chamber by a conventional heating element and heat is provided to the restraining area by a controllable heat pad on the floor of the unit. The restraining unit generally is contructed of air-pervious which permits the free exchange of natural environment air through the unit.
