I’m a pet expert – three worrying signs that your dog is in pain and why you should take them to see vet straight away
A PET expert warned dog owners about three worrying signs that indicated their furry friends needed an emergency trip to the vet.
The alarming claims follow a video from animal care influencer Pet Lab Co, which outlined the welfare advice for first time owners.
In the TikTok clip, the spokeswoman claimed there were three tell-tale signs that a pooch could be in pain and needed urgent medical attention.
She said: “Number one, if your dog’s poop is yellow.
“Yellow poo can indicate that your dog has a problem with their liver, pancreas or Gallbladder.
“So it should be investigated by a professional veterinarian.”
Secondly, the group warned if a canine was seen vomiting white foam, it was most likely unwell.
She said: “White foam can indicate a gastrointestinal problem and it is usually classed as an emergency so get your pet to a vet pronto.”
Thirdly, an emergency trip to the clinic was recommended if owners witnessed their dog struggling to urinate.
She said: “If your dog’s stream of urine is weak or interrupted or they are struggling to go at all they need to see their vet.
“This can indicate a variety of health problems including a blocked bladder, a urinary tract infection, cancer or kidney failure.”
It comes as a vet issued an urgent warning over little-known signs that an animal was in serious pain.
Another expert claimed there was a certain room dog owners should never allow their pets to enter.
