How to Use This Symptom Checker
Select all symptoms your pet is currently showing. The checker will assess urgency — from “monitor at home” to “emergency vet now” — and list the most likely causes.
When to Go to Emergency Vet Immediately
- Difficulty breathing — open-mouth breathing in cats is always an emergency
- Pale, white or blue gums — sign of shock or severe anaemia
- Bloated abdomen — especially in large dogs, could be life-threatening GDV
- Seizures or collapse — any loss of consciousness requires immediate care
- Straining to urinate with no output — urinary blockage, fatal within hours in cats
- Suspected poisoning — don’t wait for symptoms to worsen
