Did I do the right thing for my dog?

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your question. First of all, let me assure you that as a pet parent, it's completely normal to question decisions when it comes to your furry friend’s well-being.



Without more details on what happened, let’s talk about a few common situations and how you can respond to them. For instance, if your dog isn’t eating like they usually do, this could be due to minor stomach upset, stress, or even switching their food too quickly. Fresh water, a calm environment, and offering bland foods like boiled chicken and rice can sometimes help settle their tummy.



If your dog has a small cut or scratch, keeping it clean with lukewarm water and applying a bit of pet-safe antiseptic can be beneficial. Always monitor for signs of infection, like redness, swelling, or discharge.



However, keep an eye out for warning signs like persistent vomiting, extreme lethargy, or difficulty breathing—these could indicate something more serious, and it’s time to seek veterinary help.



For personalized advice, I'd recommend setting up a video consultation with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet. They’ll be able to provide tailored guidance based on the specifics of your dog’s situation. Remember, you’re doing great by seeking out information to keep your pup healthy and happy!
