Does My Pet Require Emergency Medical Treatment?

Has your pet been hit by a vehicle? Is he experiencing significant blood loss, a broken bone or amputation? Is he having extreme difficulty breathing? Is he hard to rouse? These are medical emergencies and you should contact us immediately to arrange prompt care for your pet. The following symptoms may also indicate an emergency situation:

  • Persistent Vomiting, Diarrhea, Panting, Crying, or Coughing
  • Inability to Sleep, Eat, Drink, Urinate, or Defecate
  • Bloody Discharge/Pus from a Wound or Incision
  • Seizures or States of Altered Consciousness
  • Other Unusual or Unexpected Behavior

In some cases, it may be difficult to determine if the situation warrants immediate medical attention. If you aren’t sure whether or not your pet requires emergency treatment, we encourage you to call our office. You can speak with a veterinarian who will let you know whether the situation can be remedied at home, during a regular office visit, or if immediate emergency care service is recommended.
