- Difficulty breathing or choking
- Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
- Seizures or sudden collapse
- Inability to walk or stand
- Trauma (car accident, fall, or bite wounds)
- Bleeding that will not stop
- Difficulty urinating or defecating
- Ingestion of toxins, foreign objects, or harmful foods
- Severe pain, restlessness, or crying out
If you are ever unsure whether your pet’s condition is an emergency, it is always safest to call us right away for guidance.
