EMERGENCIES AND YOUR
PETS What
is an Emergency? - To us, as your
pet’s veterinary staff, an emergency is anything you, as the pet
owner and primary caretaker, consider an emergency. We could never possibly pretend
to know your pet as well as you do and you will pick up on a lot of
subtle things that we may not in regards to what is “normal” for
your pet. We would
ALWAYS rather error on the side of caution, so never hesitate to
call or bring your pet in if you are concerned.
- The following,
however, is a list (by no means all encompassing) of the most
common signs/problems which we would consider an emergency.
- Difficulty
breathing
- Excessive
bleeding
- Loss of
consciousness
- Straining or
inability to urinate
- Profuse diarrhea
or vomiting
- Seizures,
excessive salivation, or exposure to poisons (rat poison, plants,
antifreeze, slug baits to name a few)
- Abnormalities/difficulties
in giving birth
- Large open
wounds
- Burns
- Bloated
abdomen
- Eye
problems
- Inability to
stand or walk
- Loss of appetite
for more than 2 days
- Known ingestion
of foreign object- strings, needles, toys, socks, batteries, metal,
coins, rocks and many more!!
- Known ingestion
of potentially harmful foods- chocolate, grapes, onions, bones
especially chicken/rib bones
- Known ingestion
of any medications not intended for your pet
What do we do if
this is an emergency? - Please call us
ASAP if you see any of these problems (847)
670-8470 and we will determine
whether your pet can be managed at home and seen at a later time or
if we need to see them right away. If you’re certain it is an
emergency a quick call to let us know you are on the way would be
appreciated so we can be as prepared as possible when you
arrive.
- If your pet
experiences one of these signs after our business hours please
contact one of the following emergency facilities.
IF YOUR PET INGESTED
SOMETHING TOXIC PLEASE TRY TO BRING PACKAGING OR NAMES OF ACTIVE
INGREDIENTS IN PRODUCT |
