Despite your best efforts, sometimes your pet suffers a crisis and needs emergency care. Perhaps it was something your little friend ate, or perhaps it was a serious accident. When this happens, you must not panic. Think ahead and have a contingency plan. We at All Friends Veterinary Hospital in East Islip, NY, are here to help.
Signs of a Pet Emergency
Sometimes, the signs of an accident are obvious. Your pet may be limping or bleeding or show clear external trauma. Other incidents, like poisoning, may be more subtle. You should watch for symptoms of distress, like difficulty walking, standing, or breathing, a change in temperature, heart rate or pulse, a change in gum or eye coloration, or paralysis. If you observe any of these signs, your pet may have been poisoned or have some other medical emergency.
For humans confronted with a medical catastrophe, the answers are easy and obvious. The patient goes to the emergency room. Pet care from a veterinarian may be harder to come by. Not every veterinarian is equipped or willing to provide crisis treatment for animals brought in without an appointment.
