Common Pet Problems

When you get a pet, you want to make sure you're taking as good of care of him as possible. As such, it can be important to understand common pet problems, which you can learn by speaking to a “veterinarian near me” with us at Morgan Pet Clinic in Omaha, NE, and which will be detailed in this article.

Weight

Keeping your pet's weight under control can be tricky but it can be quite important to do so. Be sure to track your pet's weight and, if you see a radical change in your pet's weight, let a veterinarian know.

Parasites

Parasites are an unfortunate reality with differing effects. Fleas and ticks can cause allergic reactions and anemia if they get out of control while heartworm can threaten your pet’s health to the point of becoming lethal.

Vomiting

There may be multiple reasons that your pet is vomiting. For one, a cat may try to regurgitate fur or other indigestible material by eating grass, which has compounds cats cannot digest. If your pet is vomiting frequently, however, it may mean that there is something wrong, so be sure to take him to a veterinarian in that case.

Arthritis

Just like humans, over time, our pets' joints begin to worsen over time, and they can even develop arthritis. You may not be able to recognize these arthritis issues, since pets can't tell us directly that their joints aren't well. You'll have to keep an eye out for any signs of joint issues, which may include:

• Limited joint motion
• Redness of the joints
• Swelling

Take your pet to a veterinarian near you on our team if you are concerned about potential arthritis.
