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.

Why Is My Dog Vomiting

Why is My Dog Vomiting?

If your dog is vomiting, you may have a serious issue on your hands. Often, the occasional bout of vomiting is nothing more than an upset stomach. That said, if your dog has swallowed a poisonous or dangerous substance, it could cause your pet to vomit. Likewise, your canine companion may be suffering from a serious health condition. It is smart to talk with a veterinarian when your pet is experiencing stomach issues. Visit Waldorf Emergency Care in Waldorf if you are worried about your dog or cat.

When is urgent or emergency pet care be needed? If your pet vomits more than once in a given day or continues to throw up after 24 hours, it is time to see a vet. Likewise, if you notice blood in the vomit, or if you have reason to believe that your dog has swallowed a dangerous substance, you should seek emergency pet care immediately.

Dog Vomiting: Why It Occurs and What You Need to Know

Dogs get sick for many reasons. A dog might throw up during a car ride due to motion sickness, for example. If your dog has a lot of mucus or food stuck in his or her throat, it might cough it up.

It is best to feed your dog only food that is meant for dogs. The occasional scrap of human food might not be an issue. However, people food may cause your pet to vomit or to suffer diarrhea. Chocolate, among other human foods, is especially bad for dogs.

Just like humans, bacteria, viruses, and other microbes can cause food poisoning and vomiting. If your dog recovers after a day, you probably don’t have much to worry about. If your canine companion continues to throw up, bring your pet in for a visit with one of our veterinarians.

With all that said, keep an eye on poisonous or dangerous substances, including cleaners, anti-freeze, small objects (i.e. coins), and all the rest. If you believe your dog has swallowed something dangerous, bring your pet in for emergency care as soon as possible.
