Signs Your Pet May Need Veterinary Attention

If you notice any of the following symptoms, don’t wait—early detection and treatment can make all the difference:

  • Loss of Appetite or Sudden Weight Changes – Refusing food, overeating, or unexplained weight loss or gain can indicate an underlying health issue.
  • Vomiting or Diarrhea – Occasional stomach upset can be normal, but persistent vomiting or diarrhea may signal a more serious problem.
  • Lethargy or Weakness – A noticeable decrease in energy, reluctance to play, or difficulty standing can be a sign of illness.
  • Coughing, Sneezing, or Difficulty Breathing – Respiratory issues could indicate infections, allergies, or more serious conditions like heart disease.
  • Increased Thirst or Urination – Sudden changes in drinking or bathroom habits can be a sign of diabetes, kidney disease, or other health concerns.
  • Skin Issues or Hair Loss – Excessive itching, redness, bumps, or hair loss may be caused by allergies, infections, or underlying health problems.
  • Pain or Discomfort – Limping, whining, reluctance to move, or sensitivity to touch could indicate injury, arthritis, or internal issues.
  • Behavioral Changes – If your pet is hiding, acting aggressive, or behaving unusually, it could be a sign of pain or illness.
