What You Should Do During A Pet Emergency

Pet Emergencies With Your Tucson Veterinarian

Pet emergencies can be scary for pets and pet owners. Knowing what to do during an emergency, how to recognize the signs of a pet emergency, and which veterinarian to call can help you and your pet through a difficult time. As your emergency veterinarian in Tucson and Marana, we help pets recover from injuries, illnesses, and other major medical problems.  

Common Pet Emergencies

Pet emergencies span a range of problems, depending on what has happened to the pet. Some of the most common pet emergencies include:

  • Hit by a car
  • Injury from animal bites or attack
  • Ingestion of a toxic substance
  • Allergy to a food 

When to Contact a Veterinarian

Being able to recognize the signs of a pet emergency is important. Watch for these danger signs. If your pet displays symptoms of an emergency, call a veterinarian right away:

  • Bleeding
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Limping
  • Lack of consciousness
  • Convulsions
  • Disorientation

Remember that pets can get aggressive when they’ve been injured, so approach your pet carefully. If your pet growls or snaps, do not come closer. Instead, contact a veterinarian for help and advice.
