If your pet is experiencing severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, excessive bleeding, non-responsiveness, seizures, or signs of severe pain, they need immediate veterinary attention. When in doubt, it’s always best to seek emergency veterinary care.
Bring any relevant medical records, a list of current medications your pet is taking, and information about the emergency (e.g., what they ingested, details of the injury). Also, bring a leash or carrier to keep your pet secure.
