Appreciate the question — let's unpack this together. When you're noticing something off with your pet, it's always better to check in sooner rather than later. Without more details, it's a bit tricky to pinpoint exactly what's going on. However, let's go over some possibilities that might help ease your worries.
Common issues that raise alarms are changes in behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits. If there's something like vomiting, diarrhea, limping, excessive scratching, or coughing, it might be a sign of an underlying issue ranging from dietary indiscretions to infections or allergies.
For at-home care, make sure your pet has plenty of fresh water and a comfortable place to rest. Keep the environment calm and minimize stress. Monitor your pet's food intake and note any changes in weight or energy levels.
Certain signs suggest that you should consult a vet sooner rather than later. Look out for persistent vomiting or diarrhea, difficulty breathing, sudden lethargy, swelling, or visible signs of pain. These could indicate more serious concerns requiring medical attention.
If any of these signs are present, or if you're just not seeing improvement, it would be wise to schedule a video consultation with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to provide personalized advice and ensure your pet gets the care they need.

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
