According to Maryland SPCA officials, any pets who have endured a fire should be taken to the vet\u00a0as soon as possible. Some effects of house fires can take several hours to become lethal, so immediate veterinary care may prevent such effects from occurring, they said. \u201cYour veterinarian will assess your pet\u2019s heart, lungs, eyes, and skin,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
