When Your Pet Might Need Urgent Care
Pet urgent care is necessary for conditions that require medical attention as soon as possible but are not immediately life-threatening. Some common reasons you might need to seek urgent care at Willow Bend Veterinary Clinic include:
- Accidents and Injuries: Such as cuts, limping, or if your pet has been hit by a car but is stable.
- Digestive Issues: Including vomiting, diarrhea, or suspected ingestion of toxic substances.
- Respiratory Problems: Persistent coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
- Bowel Issues: Difficulty urinating or defecating, frequent urination, or blood in the urine or stool.
- Eye or Ear Infections: Signs of infection may include redness, discharge, or excessive scratching.
- Skin Conditions: Rashes, parasites, or severe itching.
Signs to Look Out For
Knowing the signs that indicate your pet needs urgent care can make all the difference. Watch for symptoms such as:
- Sudden Change in Behavior: If your pet is lethargic, unusually aggressive, or hiding.
- Refusal to Eat or Drink: Especially if lasting more than 24 hours.
- Abnormal Discharge: From the eyes, nose, ears, or any other part of the body.
- Difficulty Breathing: Any sign of labored breathing is a cue to seek urgent care.
