Even minor cuts or abrasions can quickly become infected if left untreated, especially if your pet licks or scratches the area. Open wounds or visible bleeding may require stitches or antibiotics to prevent complications. If you notice a sore that isn’t healing or your pet is limping, excessively licking, or favoring a certain area, it’s time to bring them in.

Finding a lump or bump on your dog or cat can be alarming. While not all masses are cancerous, it’s important to have them evaluated by a veterinarian. Some may be benign cysts or fatty tumors, but others could indicate infection or something more serious. Our team can assess the lump, perform diagnostic tests if needed, and discuss next steps with you. Early detection is key when it comes to your pet’s health.

Occasional digestive upset might not be a cause for concern, but repeated vomiting or diarrhea can lead to dehydration, nutrient loss, and indicate a more serious condition such as gastrointestinal infection, parasites, or toxin ingestion. If your pet is throwing up, having loose stools, or showing signs of abdominal discomfort, don’t wait. We’ll work to identify the source and provide supportive care to restore their digestive health.

Constant scratching, licking, or biting at the skin can be more than just a nuisance—it could point to allergies, fleas, skin infections, or even autoimmune conditions. If your pet is visibly uncomfortable or has red, inflamed, or scabby skin, they need veterinary attention. We’ll help identify the cause and create a customized treatment plan to relieve their itching and restore comfort.

When your normally energetic pet suddenly seems tired, disinterested, or unwilling to play or go for walks, it’s often a sign that something’s wrong. Infections, internal pain, or chronic conditions such as diabetes or anemia can be a link to lethargy. We take these signs seriously and will run diagnostics to determine what’s affecting your pet’s energy and overall wellness.

If your dog or cat is skipping meals or turning away from treats they normally love, it could indicate dental problems, gastrointestinal upset, organ dysfunction, or even emotional distress. A pet’s appetite is a significant indicator of health, so any sudden change deserves attention. Our team can assess your pet’s oral and internal health to get to the root of the issue and help them regain a healthy appetite.

If your pet is coughing or sneezing more than usual, it could be a sign of an underlying issue like kennel cough, allergies, respiratory infection, or even heart disease. These symptoms may seem mild at first, but can escalate quickly without treatment. Our veterinary team in Montgomery can perform a thorough examination to pinpoint the cause and begin the appropriate treatment to get your pet breathing comfortably again.
