MEDICAL CARE

Every now and then, just like us, our furry friends can feel under the weather. Since our pets cannot speak for themselves, pet owners should be sensitive to their pet's behavior. No one knows and understands your pet better than you. Conditions left unchecked can become serious health concerns. It is important to be able to identify signs and symptoms of your dogs health. Some things to look for are:

Increase/Decrease in Appetite Increased Water Intake Decreased Activity Vomiting, Diarrhea, Bloody Stool Urination Increase/Decrease Coughing Lumps or Growths Listless Behavior Excessive Panting Heavy or Rapid Breathing at Rest  Difficulty Breathing                          Hair Loss and/or Itchy Skin Inflamed Ears Stiffness, Lameness, Difficulty Rising Bad Breath or Drooling Eye Redness, Tearing, Discharge, Light     Sensitivity

A comprehensive physical exam is the tool to evaluate your pets health status and to help you make informed decisions about the care of your special companion. The veterinary team at Bethel Animal Hospital will provide the best possible care for your pet on its path to recovery.
