He's behaving in an unusual way. Faced with its discomfort, you hesitate between taking it to the vet or waiting for it to recover on its own. But it could be that he's suffering from a serious illness and that you need to get him to veterinary emergency quickly. <strong>Canis Felis in Brussels<\/strong> reveals the warning signs that a visit to the vet is imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-esurl\"><strong>Your dog is struggling to breathe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-243ld\">Rush to the vet if your pet is breathing in a jerky way, if it has to open its mouth to suck in air. This respiratory distress can have various causes and requires emergency care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-d1qmk\"><strong>He suffers heatstroke<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-4gchd\">It's a heatwave and your dog is panting heavily, feverish and dazed. He's probably suffering from heatstroke. Wrap him up quickly in a damp blanket and take him to the nearest veterinary surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-9tdoo\"><strong>His head is swollen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-29do2\">Has your dog been stung by a bee? Is he allergic to a medicine or vaccine and has developed angioedema? There's a risk of suffocation if the swelling reaches the respiratory tract, so seek emergency care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-5gr75\"><strong>Your rabbit has lost its appetite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-ckr4l\">Is your rodent refusing to eat and no longer relieving itself? He's probably suffering from transit failure. Your vet should examine and treat it immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-85pef\"><strong>Your cat has fallen several metres<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-ebklt\">Cats always land on their feet, yes, but if yours has fallen from a certain height. Take him to the vet as soon as possible. There is a risk that he may have broken a limb or suffered other physical injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-apb5f\">Whenever your pets behave abnormally or if you have any doubts, take them to your vet as a matter of urgency. At Canis Felis, we treat your four-legged friends with professionalism and get them back on their feet so they can quickly return to the comfort of your home.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Votre chat, chien ou chinchilla para\u00eet mal en point.
