Importance of Veterinary Examination
It's crucial to have your pet examined by a vet after a water rescue:
- Prompt Vet Visit: If you suspect your dog may have ingested water, seek veterinary attention immediately.
- Diagnostic Assessment: The vet can listen for signs of fluid and perform imaging to detect any chest abnormalities.

Preventing Adverse Outcomes
Acting swiftly can improve the chances of a positive outcome for your pet:
