Common Pet Problems

Whenever your pet isn't feeling well, it could be a sign of an underlying condition that may need urgent care. Trust your gut with your pets. If emergency pet care is needed, our East Islip veterinarians are able and ready to offer the appropriate response to your concern.  At the first sign of trouble, you should take your pet to All Friends Veterinary Hospital.

There's a host of common problems in pets that, when exhibited, are well suited for emergency care. They include:

  • Blood in the stool

  • Excessive vomiting

  • Sudden weight loss or weight gain that can be attributed to the onset of an illness or disease.

  • Dizziness and an inability to walk properly

  • Whining or crying in pain.

Most dogs and cats have a high tolerance to pain, yet they're unable to tell you what's going on with their bodies, therefore it's up to the caregiver to bring them in for an emergency or urgent care.

What Do Veterinarians Look For?

Each visit to our East Islip clinic results in a standard exam--checking the eyes, blood pressure, heart rate, ears, between the pads of the paws, and any other suggested problem you bring up with your pet.

Our veterinarians give optimal treatment for every ailment your dog or cat experiences. Here are other common problems that your animal may have, and it requires the loving touch and consideration from our veterinary staff.

  1. Bad Breath - Some animals are prone to a foul mouth odor. If their diet is solid and healthy, the problem might exist in dental issues or another, more serious, complication. We'll check it all out during the initial exam and make our recommendations.

  2. Dry, itchy skin - Dogs and cats have a tendency to get allergies during seasonal shifts. Dietary and food allergies are a concern. Filthy coats that are constantly exposed to dirt and dust will produce dry, itchy skin. Let us have a look and we'll take the next step to offer relief.

  3. Separation anxiety  - This is more of a behavioral issue, however, we can help.

All urgent care, emergency pet care, or mild concerns need our expertise. Contact our veterinarians at All Friends Veterinary Hospital! You can call us at 631-277-8700!

Testimonial

  • "I can not say enough about these wonderful people. Dr. Reda is the most compassionate veterinarian I have ever met. My beloved dog passed from cancer, but they were there every step of the way with any questions or concerns, even when they were oh vacation and I was totally distraught about it, they made sure to address my concerns and never made me feel like I was crazy. There should be more people like Dr. Reda and his staff in this business. I am forever grateful for all of you."

  • "I had such a good experience when I brought in a feral cat family during a TNR mission that I returned a month later when I adopted two of the kittens. Dr. Reda is simply a wonderful veterinarian. I appreciate his well-informed, holistic approach to treatment. He & his staff take the time to give me plenty of information and answer all my questions, while doing everything they can to minimize any distress and discomfort my cats experienced during the visit. In short, if you are looking for a vet that is highly knowledgeable, accessible, and compassionate, I cannot recommend All Friends highly enough."
