What is A Pet Emergency?
Pet emergencies are not always obvious, so how can you tell your pet needs urgent care? We’ve gathered a list of some of the more common signs and circumstances that demand immediate veterinary care. If your pet has experienced any of these, bring your pet straight to our hospital:
- Bleeding that won’t stop with compression
- Bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
- Vomiting/diarrhea for more than 24 hours
- Blood in vomit, urine, or stool
- Encounter with a wild animal (even if doesn’t appear your pet was wounded)
- Difficulty or inability to urinate
- Traumatic injury such as being hit by a car
- Pressing head against the wall (indicates a neural problem)
