Signs Your Animal May Need a Sick Pet Exam

Animals often show illness through changes in behavior, appetite, or activity level. While some issues resolve on their own, others require medical attention.

Common reasons to schedule a sick pet exam include:

Vomiting or diarrhea

Loss of appetite

Lethargy

Coughing or sneezing

Difficulty breathing

Limping or lameness

Ear infections

Skin irritation or excessive scratching

Eye discharge or redness

Changes in drinking or urination habits

Sudden behavior changes

If something seems unusual, it’s worth having your animal evaluated.

What to Expect During a Sick Pet Exam

A sick visit begins with a conversation about your concerns. We’ll discuss symptoms, recent changes, and your animal’s medical history before performing a thorough physical examination.

Depending on what we find, diagnostic testing may be recommended, including:

Bloodwork

Fecal testing

Urinalysis (urine testing)

Parasite screening

Additional diagnostics as needed

Once we have a better understanding of what’s causing the problem, we’ll discuss treatment options and a plan for recovery.

Regular Checkups Help Catch Problems Early
