If you are unsure if the problem could be serious, it is never wrong to have your pet examined. Below are a few of the most common symptoms and incidents that may indicate an emergency situation and require that your pet visit a trusted veterinary clinic:

Bite Wounds: Whether from other animals or wildlife, bite wounds can lead to serious infections and require immediate care to prevent complications.

Bites (including snake bites): Snake bites, particularly, can be life-threatening due to venom, necessitating prompt medical attention.

Broken Bones: Signs of fractures include limping, inability to move, or visible bone protrusions. Emergency treatment is crucial for pain relief and proper healing.

Burns: Burns can result from heat, chemicals, or electricity. Immediate treatment is necessary to prevent infection and promote healing.
