What Are Pet Emergencies?

When your pet has had an accident, the need for a veterinarian can be immediate. Things like being hit by a car can be fatal and very traumatic for your pet. Even if there are no exterior signs of injury, there may be internal damage. Some of the symptoms that may require urgent pet care are:

●             Vomiting excessively

●             Blood in stool

●             Lethargy

●             Unconsciousness

●             Inability to walk

●             Difficulty breathing

●             Staggering or stumbling

●             Sudden blindness

●             Great pain

●             Bloody wound

These signs and symptoms might require urgent care or immediate vet assiatnce from an “emergency vet near me” or the local pet clinic. We might give you instructions about what to do at home and how to get your pet to our clinic safely.

What to Do at Home

Depending on whether you are dealing with an injury or an illness, you might need someone to help you to get your pet to the vet. While moving your pet, be aware that your pet may not want to be touched. It might be a good idea to wrap him in a towel or blanket and have someone sit next to him in the back seat of the car if possible. Try to keep him and yourself calm.
