  • Seizures: Uncontrolled shaking, foaming at the mouth, loss of consciousness.

  • Ingestion of Poisonous Substances: Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unusual behavior.

  • Heatstroke: Excessive panting, rapid heartbeat, drooling, vomiting, or collapse.

  • Sudden Weakness or Collapse: Loss of coordination, inability to stand, or sudden collapse.

  • Stay Calm: Panic can hinder your ability to respond effectively.

  • Assess the Situation: Quickly determine the severity of the emergency.

  • Contact Your Veterinarian: Immediately call your vet for guidance or to schedule an emergency appointment.

  • Administer First Aid (If Possible): If advised by your vet, administer first aid, such as applying pressure to a wound or removing a foreign object.
