Common Symptoms of Emergent Conditions

• Difficulty Breathing

• Wounds/Trauma

  Some wounds you can see, like cuts, scrapes, and bite wounds. Some are less apparent. If your animal has been in an accident, it is vital to have them examined as soon as possible to detect internal trauma.

• Poison/Intoxication

  If you suspect your pet has gotten into something they shouldn’t have, it is important to act immediately. Try and gather as much information as possible to speed up the treatment process. Our doctors need to know:

  • What substance was ingested? Please bring the bottle or container with you if you have it.

  • How much was ingested?

  • What time did your pet ingest?

• Vomiting or Diarrhea

  As a pet owner, you have no doubt cleaned up a few messes. It’s part of the job! But if you notice an excessive vomiting or diarrhea (multiple times a day or over multiple days), it may be a sign of an underlying problem that should be addressed.

• Seizures

• Discomfort

  Pain and discomfort can manifest in many different ways. Signs may include itching, decreased appetite, behavioral changes or increased vocalization. If your pet’s behavior is concerning you, bring them in for an assessment.
