Signs Your Pet Should Be Seen:

Aggression, hiding, or unusual clinginess can be a sign your pet is unwell.

Redness, mucus, or pus often indicates infection.

Unexplained drooling may point to nausea, pain, or toxin ingestion.

Labored or rapid breathing always warrants immediate attention.

Urinary obstruction is an emergency, particularly in male cats.
