Some emergencies are easy to recognize, such as difficulty breathing, collapse, severe bleeding, or significant injuries. However, other serious conditions may begin with less obvious changes. Signs such as sudden weakness, unusual behavior, repeated vomiting, difficulty walking, extreme lethargy, abdominal swelling, or simply acting unlike themselves may also require veterinary attention.
