Local Veterinary Animal Clinics & Hospitals in Glengowrie SA

Signs you need to go to a veterinary clinic

Our pets are not just pets. They are family. So, it’s important to watch out for potential signs that they may need an appointment with your local vet or to determine whether it requires an animal hospital. We’ve listed a few signs to look out for:

• Nutrition and behaviour- A change of eating habits to their usual. For example eating much less than they would normally. Showing signs of excessive thirst. Change in the colour, texture or smell of your pet’s stool is another area for concern.
• Physical appearance-  Having cloudy or even red coloured eyes. Sudden loss of weight. The difference in the animal’s coat. For example, loss of fur is something else that requires a checkup.
• Emergency symptoms- Outwardly obvious signs of extreme pain through whining, bleeding through eyes, nose or mouth. Others include seizures, repeated vomiting or blood upon vomiting, sudden collapses, lack of breathing or even sudden unconsciousness. In these situations, seek an animal emergency hospital.

If your pet shows any of the mentioned signs, it’s important to know where the nearest animal hospitals are, including the ones that are 24 hours - for emergency situations. Use our listings to familiarise yourself with which vet animal hospitals and clinics are near you.
