Emergencies by nature are unexpected, and create high levels of stress for everyone concerned. If your pet suddenly experiences any of the following signs — severe or unstoppable bleeding; difficulty breathing; persistent vomiting or diarrhea, even a mild eye injury — an immediate call to your veterinarian is in order, usually followed by a visit to the emergency room. On this show, Dr. Michael Schaer, an emergency and critical care specialist, will discuss different types of pet emergencies, how to recognize them and also how to prevent potential emergencies from occurring.
