Introduction
Unexpected accidents whether at home, on walks, or during seasonal activities can be frightening for any pet owner. Being informed about common signs of trauma and knowing where to turn for assistance can help Denver pet families stay prepared.
Trauma can arise from falls, collisions, slips on icy sidewalks, or other sudden impacts. Common signs that a pet may need evaluation include limping, swelling, sudden behaviour changes, or difficulty moving. Even minor injuries can have underlying concerns that may not be immediately visible.
In colder months, slippery surfaces increase the likelihood of pets slipping or falling, and holiday celebrations often introduce unfamiliar situations and hazards. Veterinarians commonly advise limiting activity on icy surfaces and watching for signs of distress after any incident.
