| "Does my dog need to go to the vet?" OK I always thought this was self explanatory but I guess not
YOUR dog needs to see a vet soon if
it's had diarrhea for more than 2-3 days;
it's been vomiting several times a day for 2 days
it is urinating in inappropriate indoor places (and is housebroken)
seems overly tired and sluggish for several days
has a limp that has not gotten better in several days
has a fever that is over 102 for more than a day
has a cough or eye/nasal discharge etc for more than a day
Your dog needs to see a vet NOW if
it is bleeding from any orfice (and is not a bitch in heat)
has diarrhea that looks like blood or is blood
is suddenly 3 legged lame
has a broken bone
was hit by a car
fell out of a car or window
sounds like it is choking
faints
has a seizure when it has never had one before
is vomiting and foaming at the mouth
seems uncomfortable and bloated
has a fever over 104
I'm sure there are more but this is a start. Please people have a little common sense. PLEASE
