What if a pet becomes ill or gets badly injured. Would you know what to do? Here are some helpful hints that could save a pet’s life AND protect you or a member of your family:
• Approach the ill or injured pet slowly and cautiously. Even your own pet can become aggressive when in pain or scared.
• Don’t make any sudden or loud movements; you might scare the animal even further.
• If needed, use towels or blankets to subdue cats or small dogs.
• Keep your veterinarian’s phone number and address in a convenient location (near the phone, perhaps?) in your home.
• Also, keep the phone number and address of an after-hours veterinary clinic, as well as directions to that clinic, in a convenient location.
If possible, call the clinic ahead of time so the on-duty staff knows you’re coming and the nature of your pet’s illness or injury. Hopefully you will never have to deal with a situation where you need to seek emergency aid for an animal, but if you do, exercise caution, protect yourself and your family first and then protect the animal.
