What You Should Know: Caring for Sick Dogs and Cats
Sick visits, unlike general wellness exams, are meant to address sudden health concerns. If your pet is displaying unusual symptoms, it is always best practice to contact a veterinarian for guidance and care.
Should I wait to see if my pet gets better on their own?
If your pet is showing signs of illness or injury, such as persistent vomiting, 24+ hours of diarrhea, whining in pain, or other unusual behaviors, they should be evaluated by a veterinarian. If you are unsure whether your pet could benefit from a sick visit, you can always call to get an experienced opinion.
What happens during a sick visit at the vet?
Your pet will receive a thorough physical exam, and if needed, diagnostic tests such as blood work, X-rays, or disease testing may be recommended to determine the cause of their symptoms. A veterinarian will discuss any results with you and talk about next steps for recovery.
What should I bring to my pet’s sick visit?
For any sick visit to a vet, make sure to note the symptoms that you are concerned about and when they started. If you have not been to Just For Pets Animal before, we appreciate any previous medical records and a current list of medications, as these can aid in a more accurate diagnosis and safe treatment plan. For bowel issues, a same-day stool sample can be helpful.
How can I help my pet recover when they are sick or injured?
Follow the veterinarian’s recommendations, make sure your pet gets plenty of rest, provide any prescribed medications as directed, and monitor your fur baby for any changes. If symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up visit may be necessary.
