Urgent vs. Emergency: Knowing the Difference
It's important to be able to differentiate between urgent medical situations and emergencies for pets. Understanding this difference can be a lifesaver for your loved one.
Urgent
An urgent situation involves a non-life-threatening issue that nonetheless requires prompt attention. This might include problems like minor injuries, vomiting, diarrhea, an allergic reaction, an ear infection, parasites, or a sudden change in behavior.
Emergency
An emergency, on the other hand, is a critical, life-threatening condition. This includes severe trauma, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding, or unconsciousness. In emergency cases, immediate action is necessary.
