🚨 If your dog or cat is hit by a car, every minute matters.

Here’s what to do right away:
1️⃣ Stay calm and keep yourself safe. Approach carefully. Even the gentlest pet may bite or scratch when scared or hurt.
2️⃣ Move your pet out of traffic using a blanket or towel as a stretcher if needed.
3️⃣ Keep them warm and as still as possible. Movement can worsen internal injuries or fractures.
4️⃣ Do not give food, water, or medications unless directed by a veterinarian.
5️⃣ Head to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital immediately. Even if your pet seems okay, internal injuries or shock may not be visible right away.

Accidents happen in an instant but getting quick veterinary care can make all the difference. ❤️‍🩹

🍂 Fall is a beautiful season but it comes with hidden hazards for pets! 🍂

As the leaves change, many families enjoy seasonal foods and decorations that can be dangerous for pets if ingested. Common culprits include:
🌽 Corn cobs
🍖 Bones
🕯️ Decorative items like small ornaments

Ingesting these items can lead to serious blockages, choking, or gastrointestinal issues. If your pet shows vomiting, lethargy, or signs of discomfort, don’t wait, seek veterinary care immediately.

Keep your pets safe this season by storing food and decorations out of reach, and always supervise them around new seasonal items!

Fall brings beautiful color and a few seasonal hazards for our pets. 🍂 Some mushrooms and plants that appear this time of year can be toxic if ingested.

Watch out for wild mushrooms like Amanita, Galerina, and Lepiota, which can cause severe liver damage. Decorative plants such as autumn crocus, chrysanthemums, and oak leaves or acorns can also lead to vomiting, drooling, or more serious symptoms.

Keep curious noses and paws away from unfamiliar plants and mushrooms, and call us or your veterinarian immediately if your pet shows any signs of illness.

Enjoy the beauty of falls safely! 🍁🐾

🐾 Recognizing When Pets Need Emergency Care 🐾

Pets can’t tell us when something is wrong, so it’s important to recognize the warning signs that require urgent attention. Some situations that often warrant an emergency visit include:

✅ Respiratory distress: Difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, or wheezing

✅ Gastrointestinal emergencies: Severe vomiting or diarrhea, especially with blood

✅ Trauma: Injuries from accidents, falls, or fights

✅ Neurologic issues: Seizures, collapse, or sudden disorientation

✅ Mobility problems: Sudden limping, inability to stand, or severe pain

✅ Abdominal emergencies: Swelling, bloating, or signs of discomfort

✅ Ingestion of toxins: Eating plants, medications, or other harmful substances

Understanding these signs helps ensure pets receive timely care when their health is at risk. When in doubt, it’s always safest to seek emergency veterinary care.

🚨 Pets are naturally curious, and sometimes that curiosity leads them to swallow things they shouldn’t. 🐾

Items like socks, toys, string, bones, or corn cobs can get stuck in the stomach or intestines and cause serious health problems. Watch for signs such as:
⚠️ Vomiting or retching
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Abdominal pain

If you think your pet may have eaten something unusual, don’t wait—prompt veterinary care can make all the difference. ❤️

👉 Prevent accidents by keeping tempting objects out of reach and trash bins secure.
