Recognizing when your pet needs immediate care isn’t always straightforward. Visible symptoms like limping or bleeding—or more subtle signs like lethargy or appetite loss—can indicate that something is wrong. You know your pet best. If they’re not acting like themselves, trust your gut and get in touch.
