Poison and urgent symptoms
Some situations need a call or visit right away.
Possible poisoning
If your pet ate something possibly toxic, call your vet, an emergency clinic or an animal poison control hotline right away. These hotlines may charge a consultation fee.
Urgent signs
Trouble breathing, collapse, seizures, heavy bleeding, a swollen hard belly or inability to urinate are emergencies.
Do not wait to see
When in doubt, call the emergency clinic and describe the symptoms; they can tell you how urgent it is.
