Most people love their pets as if they were their own children. When a child is sick, the parents know when they need to take them to the hospital. The same is not true when it comes to pets. Many pet owners do not know what situations are emergencies that would warrant a visit to Animal Hospitals Fort Bend County.
An Unresponsive Pet
If an owner finds that their pet is unconscious, and unable to wake up, the owner should take their pet to an animal hospital immediately. The same is true if the pet is not breathing or has no heartbeat.
The Pet Has Ingested Something Toxic
Animals don’t understand that there are certain things that they should not eat because they could be dangerous. If an owner believes that their pet may have ingested something toxic, such as household cleaners, rat poison, antifreeze, or any type of human medication, they should take them to animal hospitals in Fort Bend County immediately.
Neurological Problems
If an owner notices that their pet is having any neurological problems, the pet should be taken to the animal hospital immediately. Some neurological issues would be:
* The pet has become disoriented
The pet is bumping into things
The pet suddenly cannot stand up
The pet is having, or has had a seizure
Signs That the Pet Was Injured
Most pet owners do not constantly have their eyes on their pet. If the pet is injured, the owner may not have seen it. If the pet shows signs of extreme pain, such as shaking, crying or whining, they should be taken to the animal hospital immediately. The problem could be a broken bone or an internal injury. The only way to know would be to go to the animal hospital.
Problems With Their Eyes
If a person’s pet seems to be having difficulty seeing, if their eyes look irritated, or if there is blood coming from their eyes, the pet should be taken to the animal hospital. Eye problems can be very dangerous if they are not taken care of quickly.
Most owners know their pets well. If something seems off, they should take their pet to the Greatwood Veterinary Hospital. The sooner the problem is diagnosed, the sooner it can be treated.
