The lives of pets or animals are as essential as the lives of humans. Animals and pets also experience mild to life-threatening illnesses, which can affect their well-being. However, treating animals can be complicated, as not all pharmacies provide pet medications.

There are notable illnesses that animals experience that require immediate attention. Below are some examples:

• Infections

  Infections are one of the most common diseases pets may experience. Your pet can get infections if they have contact with contaminated water, urine, or food. In addition, infected pets can also infect their owners. For example, cats with toxoplasmosis can potentially infect their owners too. Thankfully, medications for infections can be available in every retail pharmacy.

  Viral infections are also life-threatening and contagious, thus requiring medical attention. Examples of life-threatening viruses include parvovirus, which can affect dogs. Dog owners must either allow their dogs to receive vaccines or get treatment for their infected dogs immediately.

• Allergic reactions.

  Pets can have allergic reactions too. Pet owners must identify triggers to avoid allergic reactions in their pets. Anti-inflammatory medications are available in our pharmacy in Pennsylvania to help suppress their allergic reactions.

• Complicated illnesses.

  Animals also suffer from complicated illnesses like lymphoma, kidney diseases, and other illnesses. These illnesses can be fatal, and pet owners should be wary of them.

These illnesses can be treated or prevented with medications available in every pharmacy. Thankfully, we at Bath Drug Pharmacy have available medications for your pets. We also have available medical supplies in Bath, Pennsylvania. Contact us if we have what you need.
