When your Pet Needs to See the Vet
Dr. Karen Halligan reports on the following signs that your pet may need medical attention:
*Vomiting-if your animal companion vomits but seems healthy otherwise, take away food for 12 to 24 hours and provide only water. If no futher vomiting occurs, start your pet on frequent, small feedings of its regular diet and gradually increase to the normal amount. If your pet can't keep the water down, is lethargic, has abdominal pain or a fever, or still can't digest food, go to the vet.
Puppies, kittens, and older pets are especially vulnerable to dehydration.
*Diarrhea-try withholding food for 12 to 24 hours to allow the intestinal tract time to heal. Provide water. Then start your pet on a diet of bland foods for 2 to 3 days. If the diarrhea is bloody, persistent, or your pet has other symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy or pain, see your vet.
*Limping-if your pet is limping but will let you examine its leg and is not in too much pain, try letting it rest for a few days. If your pet can't put any weight on its limb, is in great pain, or has a fever, seek help from a vet. Don't give your animal any over-the-counter pain medication without checking with the vet.
*Discharge from the eyes, nose, mouth or other body opening
*Fever
*Foul odor from the mouth, ears or skin
*Sudden increase or decrease in water consumption or appetite
*Change in attitude or energy
*Sudden weight loss or gain
*Stiffness or difficulty rising
*Any lumps or bumps
