Pets can’t tell us when they’re feeling unwell, but there are some signs that indicate they need prompt attention. At Mixed Pet Veterinary Hospital, we do our best to accommodate same-day appointments for urgent concerns, helping your pet feel better fast.
Occasional stomach upset is normal, but repeated vomiting can signal illness, ingestion of harmful substances, or an intestinal blockage that needs immediate attention.
Continuous loose stools may lead to dehydration and often point to parasites, dietary sensitivities, or an underlying health issue.
If your typically lively pet becomes unusually tired, weak, or unresponsive, it could indicate a medical problem requiring prompt evaluation.
Pacing, whining, or difficulty settling may be a sign your pet is in pain or feeling unwell.
Skipping a meal isn’t always alarming, but going more than a day without eating could mean something serious is going on.
Drinking excessively or urinating more than normal may indicate kidney problems, diabetes, or other health concerns.
Favoring a leg, stiffness, or trouble standing may suggest injury, arthritis, or spinal issues.
Sudden clinginess, hiding, or irritability can be your pet’s way of signaling discomfort or illness.
Redness, swelling, or unusual discharge may indicate infection or irritation that should be treated promptly.
Drooling more than usual can be related to nausea, dental disease, or exposure to toxins.
Labored, fast, or noisy breathing is always a sign to seek immediate veterinary care.
If your pet eats chocolate, medications, plants, or other potentially dangerous items, contact us or poison control right away.
A cough that doesn’t go away may point to respiratory infections, heart conditions, or airway obstruction.
Straining to urinate—especially in male cats—can quickly become life-threatening and needs urgent attention.
Persistent scratching or bald patches may indicate allergies, parasites, or infection that should be addressed early.
Any sudden bump or growth should be checked to rule out serious conditions.
Sudden swelling may indicate an allergic reaction that requires immediate veterinary care.
Even minor injuries can become infected; prompt evaluation keeps your pet safe and comfortable.
