Is your dog really sick?

As it is a holiday weekend, and often medical concerns present
when vet services are closed, I thought I would start a thread
with helpful questions for your home assessment.

Always call your vet if you have concerns, but in many cases it
may be a 24 hour center that is covering for your vet's practice
which may be located miles away.

Here is an article to start off assessment discussion

Please add your questions/observations--

I love that website......the GPCC site. Hadn't read it for awhile so hadn't seen this. Thank you.
As someone who just spent the entire evening/night and morning at the ER with my OES, I appreciate these two informational sites listed so thank you!

I might add, everyone should have a first aid kit available at all times. And it might not be a bad idea to get your pet used to a soft muzzle before it becomes necessary to use one so they will accept it without fear. Practice putting it on and give a treat and take it off right away...Just to get the dog familiar with it.

My dog got injured early Saturday evening and ended up needing five stitches. I do have a first aid kit but of course could not find it under the pressure of seeing him hurt. He's home now doing okay..
Hi Ashley,

So glad your dog is doing better , great suggestion to
have a first kit and muzzle for emergencies.

24 hour er vet offices are a blessing.

Wishing your sheepie continued recovery !
