Signs Your Pet Needs Emergency Care

Not sure if your dog or cat has an emergency? While traumatic injury is often a clear sign that pets need emergency medicine, other symptoms may indicate that your pet needs an emergency vet.

Lameness or Difficulty Walking

If you notice sudden lameness, difficulty walking, or that your pet is not using one of their limbs, they may have suffered an injury. At Metrovet, we will provide a comprehensive physical examination and treatment plan for all critical patients to address things like bone fracture, break, or dislocation and a soft tissue injury like a sprain.

Blood in Vomit or Diarrhea

You may need an appointment if you notice blood in your cat or dog's vomit or diarrhea. These symptoms can indicate a health problem that should be treated as soon as possible. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or HGE, is a condition that can cause bloody vomit or diarrhea and can be caused by infections and more. The sooner the treatment, the better chance your pet can be on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.

Seizures

If you notice sudden lameness, difficulty walking, or that your pet is not using one of their limbs, they may have suffered an injury. At Metrovet, we will provide a comprehensive physical examination and treatment plan for all critical patients to address things like bone fracture, break, or dislocation and a soft tissue injury like a sprain.


Unconsciousness

If your pet is unconscious, call your local emergency vet as soon as possible. This condition can be the result of many things, and the sooner you get treatment, the better possibility you have of assisting your pet. While we're not open 24 hours a day, our expert veterinary team is on call at our Boston, MA, clinic during normal hours of operation and can help you navigate emergencies that require urgent care like x-rays, surgery, and more.
