Pet Emergency
Your pet cannot talk to you to let you know when something is wrong or it isn’t feeling well. It is often difficult to determine when your pet needs veterinary care. At Care Pet Animal Hospital in Jacksonville, FL, we are here to help. Our vet provides emergency care for a variety of different situations. We want to help your pet live a long, healthy life. Here are some signs that your pet may need to see our emergency veterinarian.
Seizure, Fainting, or Disorientation
If your pet appears to be disoriented, has one or more seizures, faints, or becomes unconscious, it should be taken to our veterinarian for emergency treatment. These symptoms may be an indication of a serious problem, such as internal bleeding, infectious disease, or potential heart issues. Seizures that are caught in time may also help prevent permanent brain or nerve damage.
Vomiting, Diarrhea, or Retching
These symptoms are often seen together and may be an indication of a variety of serious problems, including toxic poisoning, such as poisonous plants or antifreeze. Retching may also be a sign of bloat, which means that your pet’s stomach is filled with gas and is twisted, which may be obstructing blood flow. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it is essential that you take your pet to our vet as soon as possible.
Choking, Nonstop Coughing, or Labored Breathing
Choking is an indication that something is caught in your pet’s trachea and preventing it from breathing. Nonstop or frequent coughing may be an indication of the trachea collapsing, or it may be a symptom of an infectious disease known as tracheobronchitis. If your pet is coughing up blood, it means that there is something serious happening in your pet’s body, so you should contact our vet immediately. If your pet is experiencing labored or heavy breathing, it may be a sign of a respiratory problem, a heart problem, or overheating. It’s important to pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and routines, which may help you and our veterinarian determine the cause of your pet’s heavy breathing.
