Frequently Asked Questions
-
Abnormal behavior in your pet may be a sign that something more serious is underlying. Changes in appetite, energy level, mood, urinating/defecating habits, shaking, or any other changes in normal routine can be symptoms of pain or sickness. CONTACT us today to consult with our veterinarians.
-
Yes. You should schedule an examination if your pet is showing signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, lethargy, coughing, limping, itching, pain, or other changes in behavior or health. Early evaluation can often prevent more serious complications.
-
Bloodwork in our pets can be a valuable tool to diagnose illness, as well as monitor health. Bloodwork evaluates any possible inflammation/infection, kidney or liver issues, blood sugar and electrolytes, proteins and many other specific markers of health in our pets. CONTACT us today to discuss bloodwork options for your dog or cat.
-
Occasional vomiting may have a minor cause, but repeated vomiting, vomiting accompanied by lethargy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or blood should be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible.
-
Eating grass in dogs can be a symptom of nausea or stomach issues. However, in some dogs eating grass is a learned behavior and perfectly normal! If you have concerns about your dog eating grass or if this is a new behavior, CONTACT us today to consult with one of our veterinarians.
-
Scooting in pets can be a sign of discomfort or itchiness. When a dog’s anal glands become impacted, scooting can be a sign that the glands are full and need to be expressed. CONTACT us today to have your dog’s glands expressed to prevent future complications or infections.
-
Cats that stop eating can become seriously ill, especially if appetite loss persists. Any significant decrease in appetite should prompt a veterinary examination to identify the underlying cause.
-
Mild diarrhea may resolve on its own, but persistent diarrhea, bloody stool, vomiting, lethargy, dehydration, or loss of appetite should be evaluated by a veterinarian.
-
Eye problems should be evaluated as soon as possible. Squinting, redness, discharge, swelling, cloudiness, or apparent vision changes may indicate painful conditions that can worsen rapidly without treatment.
-
If your pet has ingested a potentially toxic substance, foreign object, medication, or household item, contact a veterinarian immediately. Prompt intervention may help prevent serious complications.
