Dog Coughing And Gagging, >> vo: and now, your host, the vet who knows >> vo: a thing or two about bloating >> vo: dr. andy roark! how do we know if we've got a full-fledged emergencyon our hands?
let's check out my top 5 signs for breathingand digestion emergencies. when is vomiting or diarrea an emergency? >> stephen: when you're on a date! >> meg: when you can't clean the mess up beforethey make another one! when it goes on for an extended period oftime, like more than 24 hours and there is an additional clinicalsign like weakness, lethargy, pain, or if you see anyblood. ewww. my rule is this. if your pet vomits more than3 times, call your vet and ask for advice. if you vomit more than 3 times, don't callyour vet.
just lay off the tequila maybe. also, if your dog or cat loves eating morethan life itself and they stop, that's serious. if your pet has a painful or bloated bellyalong with any of these signs, head straight to the vet. [elevator music] if you see these signs, it may be due to acondition where air becomes trapped in the stomach and the stomachtwists over on itself. it's a condition called gdv, or bloat.
it's common in large breed dogs that are deepchested. gdv is a life-threatening condition that requiresimmediate medical care. anytime your pet is struggling to breathe,that's an emergency. if your pets gums are blue or purple you shouldalready be at the vet. signs of a breathing problem include: that's right. a complete stop in breathingis on there. because some people... if you think there is something in your pet'sthroat, don't try to get it out. you might just makeit worse.
just get to your vet. seriously. get your hand out of your pet'sthroat. i'm looking at you lion tamer. >> lion tamer: sorry! [lion roar] not to mention, you might accidentally grabahold of part of your pet. please don't remove parts of your pet. the color of your pet's gums is important. pale gums can be a sign of anemia or internalbleeding.
blue gums, an oxygenation problem or problemsbreathing or something with the lungs. bright red gums, systemic infection or shock. yellow gums, liver disease or a liver problem. glowing gums? your pet may be an alien. if you see any of these colors, especiallyif you see them with other signs of illness or a behavior change,that's an emergency. also, if your pet is an alien, go to the vet. even if he's healthy, because c'mon we wantto see it because that's awesome.
