If you notice any of the following symptoms in your pet, it is best to seek veterinary care right away: a fever, limping or stiffness in its movements, discoloration of gums or tongue, refusal to eat or drink, vomiting or diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours. You should also monitor for any abnormal lumps or bumps on their body and pay attention to their overall mood and behavior as well.
