There are a number of diseases that can cause nausea and vomiting in dogs, from life-threatening intoxications to something as harmless as motion sickness from car rides.
A frequent cause of sickness that often results in dramatic episodes of vomiting is scavenging behaviour, which is natural to dogs 🐶
Depending on its intensity, duration and cause, vomiting can result in severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which will affect all of your pets’ bodily functions.
So, what can you do in these situations? Watch our video to find out 👀
Watching your pet have a seizure can be very frightening, and owners can be caught off guard when this happens.
Fits can have different presentations ranging from localised tremors to pets losing consciousness, shaking uncontrollably, vocalising, and paddling.
Afterwards, it is normal that they feel disoriented for a while.
If your pet has a fit, please try to remain calm as this will be the only way you can help them.
Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a frequently diagnosed problem in cats, with overweight animals and those who don't exercise often seeming to be more at risk.
As there are many conditions that can cause FLUTD, please talk to our team if you notice your cat is having problems urinating. Some of these, like complete urethral obstructions, are medical emergencies and can be fatal if left untreated ⚠️
