If your pet has been displaying any of the following symptoms for more than a few days, it may be in need of medical attention: loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, coughing, labored breathing, sneezing excessively or repeated incidents of bloody nose. Other possible signs that your pet might need medical care include injuries with open wounds or bleeding that hasn't stopped after a few minutes. Additionally if you have recently changed their diet or gave them medication and they are not acting normally it could mean they are suffering from an adverse reaction to either diet or medicine. In all cases it is best to consult a professional veterinarian to determine the health problem and prescribe appropriate treatment.
