What an acute kidney injury can look like in dogs & cats 🐾

An acute kidney injury can develop suddenly and become serious quickly. Recognizing the signs early can help make a difference in your pet’s recovery.

Watch for these symptoms:
• Increased thirst and urination
• Loss of control with urine
• Little to no urination
• Blood in urine
• Vomiting
• Lethargy
• Diarrhea
• Bad breath
• Abdominal pain
• Weight loss
• Low body temperature (hypothermia)

If you notice any of these changes, don’t wait. Acute kidney issues can progress rapidly and benefit from prompt veterinary care.

May is National Chip Your Pet Month

Help protect your dog or cat with microchipping, which is a reliable way to identify your pet if they’re ever lost, even if their collar slips off. A pet microchip is a tiny device (about the size of a grain of rice) that’s implanted just under your pet’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades. A vet or shelter can scan the chip to reveal a unique ID number that’s linked to your contact information in a secure database.
Schedule a visit with Banfield in Cranberry Township to learn more about microchipping. 🐶🐱
