Hi there! It sounds like you're worried about your furry friend, and I'm here to help. Whether you need to rush her to the vet depends on what symptoms she’s exhibiting.
If she’s experiencing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, sneezing, loss of appetite, or lethargy, these could be indicative of anything from a minor stomach upset to a viral infection. Monitor her closely and try offering small amounts of water and bland food to see if her condition improves. However, if she continues to vomit, has blood in her stool, or stops eating altogether, that may be more serious.
Look out for signs of severe distress, such as difficulty breathing, persistent coughing, inability to stand, pale or blue gums, or seizures. These symptoms require immediate veterinary attention.
Minor issues like slight limping or mild skin irritations can often be managed at home temporarily. You can try cleaning any visible wounds with warm water and keeping her comfortable.
Remember, you know your pet best. If she seems uncharacteristically off or if you're unsure, it's always better to err on the side of caution. I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to get personalized advice and peace of mind. We're here for you!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
