Critical
(10)Snake or venomous insect bite
Vietnam has pit vipers, cobras and hornets. Venom reactions and anaphylaxis can develop within 30 minutes.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Anaphylaxis (bee sting, vaccine, medication, food)
A severe allergic reaction — fatal within 15-30 minutes if untreated.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Heatstroke
Body temperature above 40°C — a real risk in Ho Chi Minh City's hot season and for flat-faced breeds (Pug/Bulldog/Persian).
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Seizures (epilepsy)
A seizure lasting over 5 minutes OR more than 3 seizures in 24h is an emergency (status epilepticus).
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Food poisoning (chocolate, onion, grapes)
Your pet has eaten chocolate, onion, garlic or grapes — what you do in the first 1-2 hours matters enormously.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Rodenticide / pesticide poisoning
Extremely dangerous. There are many types of poison and each needs a different antidote — bring the packaging.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Choking on an object (bone, toy, string)
The airway is blocked. You have 2-3 minutes to clear it before the brain runs short of oxygen.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
CPR for dogs and cats (breathing or heart has stopped)
When breathing or the heart stops — CPR buys time to reach the vet. Start within 4 minutes.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Severe bleeding (severed artery / deep wound)
Blood spurting in jets, or still flowing after 5 minutes of pressure — an artery may be cut.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Fractures / heavy impact (hit by a vehicle, fall from height)
Even if your pet looks fine — internal injuries can show up later. Always get a vet check.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Urgent
(2)Low blood sugar (especially small puppies and thin cats)
Common in puppies under 3 months, toy breeds (Chihuahua, Yorkie), and diabetic pets given too much insulin.
🐶 Dog · 🐱 Cat
Eye injury (tear, foreign body, prolapsed eyeball)
The eye is a delicate organ — handled wrongly, sight can be lost permanently within hours.
