1. 🐾 Sudden Changes in Appetite

If your pet stops eating or drinking for more than 24 hours, it could signal a serious issue — from dental pain to organ problems.

2. 💩 Vomiting or Diarrhea

One off incident? Maybe not urgent. But repeated vomiting, diarrhea, or both — especially with blood — means it’s time to see the vet.

3. 💤 Lethargy or Weakness

If your normally energetic pet is suddenly sleeping all day, avoiding play, or seems “off,” don’t wait. This is often the first sign of illness.

4. 😿 Labored Breathing or Coughing

Difficulty breathing, wheezing, or persistent coughing can be linked to infections, heart issues, or respiratory diseases.

5. 🐕‍🦺 Limping or Sudden Lameness

If your pet is limping, refusing to walk, or showing stiffness, it may be injury-related or a sign of arthritis or joint issues.

6. 🚨 Swollen Abdomen or Pain When Touched

A tight, bloated belly could be caused by serious conditions like bloat, internal bleeding, or organ inflammation. Don’t risk it — seek help immediately.

7. 🧠 Unusual Behavior or Confusion

Disorientation, aggression, pacing, head-tilting, or seizures are neurological red flags. These need emergency attention — fast.
