Signs Of A Pet Emergency

Usually, the symptoms of a condition that requires emergency vet care are quite obvious, like wounds, bleeding, and broken bones from being hit by a car or an animal attack. But often the signs of a physical condition in need of emergency care are less noticeable. As a pet owner, it’s important that you familiarize yourself with the less obvious symptoms of a possible health emergency so you’ll know when to seek immediate emergency vet care treatment.

• Unusual body temperatures, below 98 degrees or above 105
• Weak or rapid pulse
• Seizures
• Pale gums
• Vomiting blood or blood in the stool
• Loss of consciousness
• Heatstroke symptoms, vomiting, rapid pulse, excessive panting, lethargy
• Dehydration symptoms, often severe diarrhea and exhaustion

Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV)

GDV is a serious physical condition that sometimes occurs in dogs. It’s characterized by severe stomach bloating and twisting caused by excessive gas accumulation in the bowels. Symptoms include repeated dry heaving attempts to vomit and a humped-over stance. The excessive stomach swelling can shut off the abdominal arteries, leading to death in less than an hour from organ damage due to lack of blood circulation. If you see signs of GDV in your dog it’s vital to get them to an emergency vet care facility immediately.

Stabilizing Your Pet In An Emergency

Knowing how to perform basic first aid to stabilize your pet before and during transport to the hospital can save their life.

• Bleeding – Apply pressure to the wound and elevate the limb
• Choking – Try reaching into the throat to remove the instruction or administer sharp blows to the chest to expel it
• CPR – Place your pet on their side, hold their mouth closed, and blow through the nostrils every three seconds
