Common Pet Emergencies
Pets instinctively hide their symptoms when they are sick or injured, so you may not immediately realize something is wrong. We understand how worrisome it can be when your dog or cat isn’t feeling well, and all pets will be treated based on their assessment upon arrival.
Symptoms and behaviors that might indicate your pet needs urgent or emergency care include:
- Difficulty breathing
- Consistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Pale gums
- Elevated heart rate
- Inability to move or walk freely
- Severe bleeding
- Crying or shaking
- Inability to urinate
- Presence of blood in stool or urine
- Consumed a toxin (pills, household chemicals, chocolate, etc.)
- Experiencing a traumatic event (hit by a car, attacked by another animal, etc.)
