Not sure if this is serious enough for vet?

Hello there! It's natural to wonder whether or not to make a trip to the vet, so let’s see if we can figure this out together. Could you tell me a little more about what's going on with your pet?



It's important to look out for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, changes in appetite, or unexplained weight loss, all of which can indicate an underlying health issue. You should also pay attention to any changes in their behavior, such as excessive sleeping, hiding, or becoming unusually aggressive or lethargic.



Sometimes, minor issues can be managed at home. For example, if your pet seems a little off but is otherwise behaving normally, you can ensure they have access to plenty of fresh water and offer them a bland diet for a short period. Keep their environment low-stress and comfortable.



However, there are some signs that should be checked by a vet sooner rather than later. Watch for difficulty breathing, frequent vomiting or diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours, blood in stool or vomit, or noticeable pain.



If you're worried or your pet is showing any serious symptoms, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and guide you on the next steps to keep your furry friend safe and healthy.
