As a pet parent, your dog or cat suffering from a severe injury or illness is likely one of your worst nightmares. Unfortunately, medical emergencies happen all too often.

When Your Pet Might Need Urgent Care

Just like people, dogs and cats may need urgent treatment for a wide range of injuries and illnesses. When it comes to your pet’s health and safety, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek urgent care anytime you think their well-being may be at risk. There are also some telltale signs that should never be ignored, including: 

• Hard, distended abdomen
• Repeated episodes of vomiting or diarrhea
• Seizures or loss of consciousness
• Serious injuries
• Difficulty breathing
• Allergic reactions
• Bleeding from nose, mouth, ears, eyes, or rectum
• Sudden unexplained behavioral changes
• Collapse 
• Pale or discolored gums
• Crying out in pain

Keep in mind that the above list is by no means exhaustive. If you have any reason to suspect that your pet is seriously injured or sick — even if they do not have any of the symptoms listed above — seek prompt veterinary care.
