Lethargic Labrador? Tired Terrier? Here’s What Vets Say You MUST Do!

Your dog may be experiencing a medical emergency if they become suddenly weak, inactive, or exhibit strange symptoms. Bloating (GDV), severe vomiting, trauma, poisoning, or allergic reactions are examples of common emergencies. Breathing difficulties, abdominal swelling, frequent vomiting or diarrhoea, uncontrollable bleeding, seizures, or collapse are important warning signs. Things You Can Do Right Away:

1.⁠ ⁠Remain composed and evaluate the circumstances.

2.⁠ ⁠Carefully transport your pet and apply pressure to stop bleeding from injuries.

3.⁠ ⁠Take note of the substance and get in touch with your veterinarian right away if poisoning is suspected.

4.⁠ ⁠If your dog has heatstroke, immediately seek veterinary attention and cool them with water. For an accurate diagnosis and course of treatment, always get advice from a veterinarian as soon as possible.
