Unlike us, our dogs will not always be in a hurry to show alarming signs of illness or complain of bothersome pain and life-threatening illness. Although the accurate detection and diagnosis of the disease is usually done by a veterinarian, there are still some unusual signs whose early detection at home can prevent later complications.

What situations can be dangerous for our dog? And how can we identify them as soon as possible and take the dog for further treatment by a veterinarian?

The main warning lights that require a veterinarian consultation

Severe allergic reaction: If the dog’s face is swollen, or its trachea is blocked due to an allergy, a veterinarian should be consulted urgently. An extreme allergy can develop due to a bee sting, a particular type of food, exposure to the plant during a trip and so on.

Without immediate treatment it can spread quickly and even cause death.

Vomiting and acute diarrhea: If you notice that the dog vomits (sometimes vomits and laxates together) very often (over 3 times a day) probably something quite serious is bothering him. It can be a hidden disease, a parasite in the stomach or food poisoning for example. Sometimes, blood stains and vomit may also show blood stains – do not wait And quickly consult a veterinarian .

Urinary obstruction: In case the dog tries to urinate and fails, or alternatively if there is blood in the urine, it may happen against the background of a bladder problem. This is an emergency, since the urine that accumulates in the body flows back together with toxins (which are supposed to come out) into the body. The bladder itself also fills and hardens and you will probably notice that it bothers your dog.

The accompanying symptoms can be very severe – fogging, complete unconsciousness, heart rhythm disturbances, and eventually death.

Feeling of choking / difficulty breathing: Sometimes difficulty in breathing is also accompanied by a blue tongue. This is a significant sign of distress that can indicate a foreign bone stuck in the dog’s throat, allergies, health complications due to illness and others.

bloated stomach – If the dog shows signs of discomfort from the abdominal area and at some point they already become signs of distress it is really important to rush to a veterinarian. A common cause of bloating is a phenomenon called gastric inversion, during which air accumulates in the stomach and as a result it overturns around the esophageal axis. It can cause air and blood blockage to vital organs and even death.

Apart from these, one should rush to a veterinarian in case the dog suffers trauma due to physical injury (falling from great heights for example), convulsions and sudden loss of consciousness, transient blood loss and muscle tremor, dog not able to give birth, purulent discharge from the eyes, and loss of balance regularly (mainly In transition from supine to walking position).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, not every unusual sign must end with an emergency visit to a veterinarian. Experienced dog owners will surely testify that their dog has often vomited and vomited, or looked exhausted and tired than usual, but soon returned to routine. Therefore, if the alarming symptoms pass quickly and the dog returns to normal activity – it was probably a short and transient event.

How to keep your dog healthy

Some visits to the vet can be prevented through effective preventative medicine which includes Comprehensive immunization program And performing routine veterinary treatments. The vaccination program is given from birth onwards by the caregiver, and it prevents common diseases such as whooping cough, parasitic infections, rabies and more.

At the same time, periodic reviews at a veterinary clinic help improve quality of life and prevent disease in aging dogs, preventative treatments for intestinal worms, and also advice regarding the dog’s food and eating habits.

Finally, remember – if there is a doubt, there is no doubt! In case you are unsure, consult your veterinarian for professional advice.
