Can an infection do that?!!

Thanks for reaching out with your question! It sounds like you're concerned about something happening with your pet, and I'm here to help.



Infections can indeed cause a variety of symptoms in pets, just like in humans. Depending on the type and location of the infection, you might notice symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, or skin changes.



For at-home care, it's crucial to ensure your pet is comfortable, stays hydrated, and gets plenty of rest. Offer small, frequent meals if they are not eating their usual amount. Monitor them closely for any changes.



However, please keep an eye out for signs that indicate the situation might be serious: labored breathing, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, significant changes in behavior, or any signs of pain. If you notice these, it's important to seek veterinary care promptly.



I recommend setting up a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. We can help assess your pet’s symptoms in more detail and guide you on the next best steps. Take care, and we’re here to support you and your fur baby!
