Symptoms Of A Pet Emergency

The signs of a condition that requires emergency care are usually pretty obvious, like large open wounds, broken bones, and serious bleeding from an animal attack or being hit by a car. But sometimes the symptoms of a medical emergency are more subtle. It’s important for you as a pet owner to familiarize yourself with the less noticeable symptoms of a health emergency so you’ll know to seek emergency vet care right away when you spot them.

• Unusual body temperatures, below 98 degrees or above 105
• Rapid or weak pulse
• Seizures
• Pale tongue and/or gums
• Vomiting blood or blood in the stool
• Loss of consciousness
• Heatstroke symptoms, such as vomiting, rapid pulse, excessive panting, lethargy
• Dehydration symptoms, often severe diarrhea and exhaustion

Emergency First Aid For Your Pet

Knowing how to stabilize your pet’s condition with basic first aid procedures before and during transport to the hospital can save their life.

• Bleeding – Elevate the limb and apply pressure to the wound
• Choking – Reach into the throat to remove the instruction or administer sharp blows to the chest to expel it
