Straining to urinate, frequent trips to the litter box, crying while trying to urinate, or producing little to no urine can all be warning signs.

If your pet is showing signs of a urinary blockage, seek veterinary care right away. Prompt treatment can make a critical difference.

As temperatures cool and routines change, fall brings a few seasonal hazards for pets to keep in mind:

🍁 Keep pets away from mushrooms and other unknown plants they may find outdoors.

🎃 Keep pumpkins, decorations, and seasonal treats out of reach. Some foods and decorations can be dangerous if swallowed.

🕷️ Continue flea and tick prevention. Parasites remain active in many areas even as temperatures drop.

🌡️ Watch the weather. Cooler temperatures can be uncomfortable or dangerous, especially for small, senior, or short coated pets.

A little preparation can help keep your pet safe and healthy throughout the season. And if your pet gets into something they should not, our emergency team is here when you need us.

Shock is a serious medical emergency that can happen when the body is not getting enough blood flow and oxygen to vital organs. It can develop quickly and requires immediate veterinary attention.

Knowing what to watch for can help you recognize when your pet needs emergency care. If you notice concerning changes in your pet’s breathing, heart rate, gum color, body temperature, behavior, or responsiveness, seek veterinary care right away.

If you are worried that your pet may be experiencing shock, do not wait to see if they improve on their own.
