Understanding Emergency Care at Iwase Dog & Cat Clinic
When Every Second Counts: The Importance of Accessible Emergency Care
In the realm of veterinary care, emergencies are alarming and often unexpected events that require immediate and effective responses. At Iwase Dog & Cat Clinic, we understand the critical nature of these situations. Whether it's a sudden illness, an injury from an accident, or a severe health complication, having access to 24-hour emergency care can mean the difference between life and death for your beloved pet.
What Constitutes a Pet Emergency?
Identifying what counts as an emergency can sometimes be perplexing. Typical emergencies can include but are not limited to:
- Severe bleeding or bleeding that doesn't stop within five minutes
- Choking, difficulty breathing, or incessant coughing
- Inability to urinate or pass feces, or pain associated with passing urine or feces
- Injuries to the eye(s)
- You suspect or know your pet has eaten something toxic (such as antifreeze, xylitol, chocolate, etc.)
Understanding these signs and acting swiftly by seeking professional help can save your pet’s life.
