How do I know if a symptom is an emergency or can I wait for a regular vet visit?
Your pet is acting weird, and now you’re wondering… Do I panic or just offer extra treats? 😬 Go to the ER ASAP if your pet:
Can’t breathe or is choking 😱
Collapses, has seizures, or is extremely lethargic 🛌
Is bleeding heavily or can’t keep water/food down 💧
Ingested something toxic, or a foreign body (yes, even chocolate or socks)
Rule of thumb: When in doubt, call your vet. Your pets are pros at being dramatic. But sometimes that drama is serious. 🐶🐱❤️
