Signs Your Pet Might Be Ill

At New Hope Animal Hospital in Durham, helping to maintain your pet's health is our goal year-round. Whenever a pet is not feeling well, pet owners want to do everything possible to help their furry friends get better. A visit to our animal hospital and a thorough examination by one of our veterinarians is the first step in interpreting the signs, diagnosing the problem, and creating a plan of action for treatment.

Signs of Pet Illness

Just like we display signs when we are not feeling well, there are several signs to watch for that could indicate a pet illness. Some of the top signs to pay attention to include:

  • Excessive scratching due to itchy dry skin
  • Sores or lumps on the body
  • Change in appetite (eating more or less)
  • More than usual drinking of water
  • More trips to go outside or the litter pan to urinate
  • Bad breath
  • Drooling
  • Wheezing and coughing
  • Changes in behavior
  • Vomiting or diarrhea
  • Hair loss
  • Mobility issues
