Handy dandy tip to answer 98% of questions regarding your pet:

1. Is your animal in immediate danger?

Congrats, if you meet any of this criteria the answer is GO TO THE VET GOD DAMMIT WHY ARE YOU ASKING PEOPLE ON TUMBLR ABOUT THIS

Additional questions: 

2: do you think your animal is in immediate danger?

3: is your animal noticeably in pain? 

If the answer to either of those is yes, FUCKING GO TO A VET or, bare minimum, CALL ONE. It is free to make a phone call to a vet and ask them questions. Vets will not falsely tell you that an animal needs medical care, they’re busy enough as is.
