How to Know Your Pet is Having an Emergency

Sometimes, it's not always clear your pet is having an emergency, but there are some definite indicators. If your pet has ingested something toxic, please call theĀ ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) emergency line at (888) 426-4435. Many items safe for us are unsafe for cats and dogs. Visit the ASPCA reference library for more information about possible toxins.

Signs of a pet emergency include:

  • Your pet is not breathing and you can't feel a heartbeat.
  • They've been vomiting for 12 or more hours.
  • They've had diarrhea for 24 or more hours.
  • Their abdomen feels hard and looks swollen.
  • They've suffered a life-threatening injury.
  • Your pet is trying to urinate but can't.

Please contact us for any more information about animal emergency care. We care deeply about animals and service cats, dogs, horses, and cattle.
