  • Difficulty breathing
  • Severe bleeding
  • Ingestion of toxic substances
  • Seizures
  • Unconsciousness
  • Trauma or injury
  • Difficulty urinating or defecating
  • Inability to walk or stand

If you’re unsure if your pet’s situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and seek urgent pet care.
