Waldorf Emergency Care Treats Many Pet Conditions

Pets can experience injuries and illnesses that may be sudden or life-threatening. Emergency veterinary care provides the immediate, on-the-spot treatment to save lives and restore animals to health. At Waldorf Emergency Care in Waldorf, MD, we have the knowledge and experience in treating a range of conditions.

Bone Fractures

Your emergency vet in Waldorf will carefully X-ray the injury and set the bone so that it can heal properly. For severe bone fractures, surgery may be necessary.

Respiratory Distress

Animals may experience breathing difficulties, choking, or respiratory infections that can affect their lung function. Our experienced team can help with medications, oxygen therapy, or surgery to improve breathing.

Ingestion of Poisons

If your pet is experiencing vomiting, confusion, or seizures, and you suspect he or she may have ingested a poisonous substance, get your animal to our emergency care clinic immediately for life-saving treatment.

Bite Wounds and Bleeding

A fight with another animal can result in bleeding or wounds that may require stitches or medications to help prevent infection. Similarly, accidents that cause lacerations should receive emergency pet care treatment from our veterinary clinic.

Severe Vomiting or Diarrhea

A severe bout of vomiting or diarrhea can be caused by eating tainted food, ingesting a toxic substance, or intestinal infection. Your veterinarian can help to determine the cause of your pet’s symptoms and administer the right treatment.

Heatstroke

Heatstroke occurs when animals are exposed to extreme high temperatures and are not able to cool down. Symptoms of heatstroke include excessive panting, drooling, reddened gums, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Heatstroke is an emergency that requires immediate veterinary care.

Unconsciousness

If your pet becomes unconscious, due to heatstroke, an accident, or any sudden illness, take him or her to see our veterinarians immediately for diagnosis and proper treatment.

Severe Skin Problems

We provide urgent care for animals who are experiencing a severe allergic reaction.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month

Would you know if your pet is in pain?  Dogs and cats can get into trouble, whether that includes eating something that doesn’t agree with them, taking a tumble, or getting in a spat with neighborhood wildlife. If you suspect you have a pet in pain, see a veterinarian at Waldorf Emergency Care near Waldorf immediately. The signs of a suffering dog or cat are there if you know what to look for:

Signs of a Pet in Pain 

Some signs of your pet experiencing pain can be obvious, such as a limp or crying. Other signs may be more subtle and could take familiarity with the pet’s personality to detect. Some things to watch for that could mean your pet is in pain include:

  • Changes in sleeping habits or appetite: Consistent weight loss may also be a sign of chronic pain, like a toothache, for instance.   

  • Aggression or social withdrawal: A pet in pain may isolate themselves from those around them.   

  • Chewing, gnawing, excessive licking, or drooling may also be signs that your pet is in pain.   

  • Constant panting may also be a sign that your pet is either anxious or uncomfortable; talk to your veterinarian.   

Regular vet visits may rule out some issues, but if you suspect your pet is in pain, it merits another veterinary appointment. Don’t let your pet suffer in silence; there could be a serious underlying medical issue that needs prompt treatment.

Animal Pain Awareness Month 

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month; a great way to celebrate this national event is to take your dog, cat, or other pet to their veterinarian for a wellness visit.
