Emergency Services
We know you love your furry friend and want to keep them as healthy as possible. While injuries are obvious signs that your pet needs treatment, many conditions are more difficult to identify. Recognizing the signs that your pet may need emergency services can help when they need it most. At East Valley Emergency Pet Clinic, our team takes care of pets throughout the Diamond Bar area when they need it most.
Signs That Your Pet May Need Emergency Care
If your pet is acting abnormally, it may be time to bring them in to emergency services. Signs include:
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Seizures
- Difficulty standing
- Fainting or loss of consciousness
- Eye injury
- Paralysis
- Abnormal breathing
- Painful urination or difficulty defecating
If you see signs that your pet might be in trouble, understand that they may act aggressively, so take precautions to keep you and your pet safe.
Keep a Pet First Aid Kit Handy
Having a pet first aid kit and understanding some basic first aid can make a huge the difference in an emergency situation for your animal. Red Cross offers a short online animal first aid course, where you can learn the basics. This can help you know what to do in an emergency to keep your pet safe, until they can be seen by a professional veterinarian. Regardless of the amount of training you have, it’s important to stay calm and level-headed for your pet’s sake in a crisis situation.
Understand What’s Normal
By understanding normal behavior patterns in your pet, you’ll be more aware of subtle signs that something life-threatening may be going on. Paying attention to these signs can help you get them the medical care they need. Sometimes, pets experience situations, like heat stroke, that may not be obvious but are dangerous. Catching the problem early on can prevent your pet from developing more issues later in life.
