A Few Examples of Pet Emergencies
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if something is an emergency or just a small issue that will pass or that can be handled through your local veterinarian when they open. A few examples of pet emergencies that would require immediate attention from a pet hospital include
- Any type of accident (a car accident, fall, cut, etc)
- Trouble giving birth (for any type of animal)
- Difficulty breathing (coughing, wheezing, short breaths)
- Ingesting toxins of any kind (no matter how mild they may seem)
- Cut that won’t stop bleeding (or a deep cut)
- Possible sprained or broken leg
- Any type of seizures occurring
- Unexplained swelling
Of course these are just examples of accidents that may require an emergency visit to your local pet hospital, but if you are ever unsure, better safe than sorry. You can always call our clinic to inquire whether or not you should bring your pet in, but usually you can tell when something requires attention as soon as possible. You know your pet better than anyone, so if they seem off or something seems wrong, it never hurts to be too cautious than to wish you had gone to the pet hospital sooner.
