Signs of an Emergency
At times, it can be difficult to know what’s an emergency. In general, emergencies include but are not limited to:
- Ingestion of a toxic or poisonous substance, from human foods such as xylitol, chocolate, or garlic to household/automotive fluids like antifreeze
- Fainting, collapse, or seizures
- Fractures, lameness, severe lacerations, and other signs of serious trauma
- Bleeding from the orifices
- Choking, gagging, and other respiratory crises
- Eye injury
- Inability or refusal to drink water or eat food
- Rapid swelling of the face or abdomen
- Lengthy periods between delivery of puppies or kittens in a litter (difficult labor)
- Unexplained disorientation, dizziness, or loss of consciousness
- Inability to urinate or defecate
If you see any of these signs or suspect your pet has a medical emergency, call us immediately at 862-832-2710.
