Animal doesn't speak human language. So You need to check your animal (pet) condition. regularly. Here, we discuss about dog. In any emergency situation, you should call your veterinarian immediately. You can make the difference in your dog’s life by staying as calm as possible when you call and by giving the doctor or the assistant as much information as possible before you leave for the clinic. That way the vet will be able to take immediate, specific action you remedy your dog’s situation.
Emergencies include acute abdominal pain, suspected poisoning, snakebite, burns, frostbite, shock, dehydration, abnormal vomiting or bleeding, and deep wounds. You’re the best judge of your dog’s health , as you live with and observe him every day. You should know that the temperature of a healthy dog ranges from 101 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit taken with a rectal thermometer.
Here are some typical problems that would warrant calling the vet :
- Diarrhea or vomiting that lasts more than one day. Call immediately if the contents of either one are dark or contain blood.
- Complete loss of appetite for more than a day.
- Fever, more than 103 degrees or shivering in a warm room.
- Seizure or convulsions.
- Choking, coughing or raspy breath.
- Sudden change in water consumption, urination or general behavior that last more than a day.
- Limping that doesn’t improve after 1 day of complete rest or any lameness that is painful.
- Runny nose, watery eyes, drooling or slobbering (from a dog that doesn’t normally do either)
