Pet Symptom Checker

Select your pet's symptoms to understand potential causes and urgency level. This tool helps you know when to seek immediate veterinary care vs. when monitoring at home may be appropriate.

When to Seek Emergency Care

Go to an emergency vet immediately if your pet shows:

• Difficulty breathing or blue/pale gums
• Inability to urinate (especially male cats)
• Bloated abdomen (dogs) - may indicate GDV/bloat
• Seizures lasting more than 2-3 minutes or multiple seizures
• Collapse or inability to stand
• Severe bleeding that won't stop
• Known toxin ingestion
• Major trauma (hit by car, fall from height)
