As smart as pets are, the one thing that can’t do is tell you when it hurts and where it hurts, it is your responsibility to know the signs that indicate your pet is unwell.
If your cat would rather sleep than bat around a favorite toy or your dog all of a sudden can’t seem to get enough food in it to be satisfied, but it is still losing weight; then it’s fair to say there is something wrong. Any unusual behavior or actions is what should suggest to the owner that Chicago animal medical care is needed.
The vet is going to rely a great deal on you to provide the animals symptoms, before you call for an appointment jot down everything you can about the way it is acting, including:
* When did the symptoms’ first appear?
* Has your pet been anywhere other than in and around your house?
* Has the animal eaten anything that you know of that could be harmful?
* Have you recently laid a new rug or bought new furniture? Could be an issue with chemicals
This is the type of background the vets needs. Hopefully your lethargic cat is just tuckered out but on the other hand, it may be very ill.
Common symptoms and their meaning:
* Vomiting or loose bowels: If it is only one time you can bet your dog got into the garbage and ate something that he shouldn’t have. If the symptoms keep up, especially if there is no appetite it could be a parasite infection or an intestinal problem. In this case, Chicago animal medical care is need urgently.
* Breathing problems: There are a number of reasons for this condition, it is important that you give the vet as much information as possible. It could be kennel cough, pneumonia or even formaldehyde from new furniture or carpets.
Whenever there is something different about your pet’s actions, it is an indication that something is not quite right. If you spot something and it doesn’t go away within a day, Chicago animal medical care is probably in order.
When your precious pet is ill you will want it to have the best Chicago animal medical care available. You are invited to make an appointment with Metropolitan Veterinary Center.
