EMERGENCY VET FAQs
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE CONSIDERED EMERGENCIES FOR PETS?
Pet emergencies can range from the obvious to the subtle. Critical conditions needing urgent vet intervention include traumatic injuries, severe vomiting or diarrhea, sudden collapse or paralysis, extreme lethargy, and any signs of significant discomfort or distress. Quick action in these situations can make a significant difference in outcomes.
IS MY PET IN PAIN?
Your pet will let you know if it’s in pain through changes in behavior, such as limping, whining, excessive licking of a specific area, decreased activity, or aggression. Physical signs include changes in appetite, difficulty breathing, or altered posture. If your pet displays any of these symptoms persistently or if the pain seems severe (e.g., crying out in pain, not eating, or unable to move), make an appointment with us immediately.
IS MY PET’S BEHAVIOUR CHANGE DUE TO ILLNESS OR INJURY?
Behavioral changes in pets can signal illness or injury. Look for signs such as reduced activity, withdrawal, altered eating or drinking habits, vocalizations like whining or growling, and changes in grooming or bathroom habits. If these changes are sudden or severe, or if your pet shows signs of pain, lethargy, or distress, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and ensure your pet’s well-being. Always err on the side of caution and seek professional advice if you’re unsure. Schedule an appointment with us today.
HOW ARE COMMON PET ILLNESSES DIAGNOSED AND TREATED?
Common pet illnesses are diagnosed through a combination of physical exams, history taking, and diagnostic tests like blood work, x-rays, or ultrasounds. Treatment varies based on the diagnosis and may include medications, dietary changes, surgeries, or lifestyle adjustments. For instance, infections might be treated with antibiotics, while chronic conditions like arthritis may require long-term management with pain relief and joint supplements. It’s crucial to consult a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Contact us today.
WHAT DIAGNOSTICS DO YOU DO IN HOUSE?
Honnas Veterinary is equipped for a range of diagnostics including echocardiogram, radiographs and blood work! Contact us to tell us more about your pet’s symptoms and we will let you know what’s next. Call us for more information.
WILL MY PET NEED SURGERY?
The only way to absolutely tell if your pet will need surgery is to bring them in to see a vet. At Honnas Veterinary, all first examinations are free. We can tell you what your pet’s ongoing needs will be at that first appointment. Contact us or make an appointment online now.
