Pet First Aid Tips
Pet has a burn
Rinse with cool water or apply a cool water compress. Transport to the nearest emergency clinic.
Pet has a leg injury or a possible fracture
Handle the injured leg as little as possible and carry the pet or transport pet in a box or carrier. If the pet is carried, hold the pet so the injured leg is away from your body. Do not allow large dogs to jump in or out of the car without assistance; have the emergency staff assist with a gurney.
Pet has heatstroke
Cool pet briefly by wetting the hair thoroughly, then immediately transport to the nearest emergency clinic. Maintain a cool environment (air conditioner on high in car).
Pet has an eye injury
If caused by an irritant (soap from a bath) flush eye with cool water or a saline eye wash. Cover the eye with a moist cloth if possible. Do not apply any topical medication until a complete exam has been completed. Transport to the nearest emergency clinic.
Allergic reactions
Most are commonly caused by insect stings or bites, but can also be caused by vaccinations or even certain foods or medications. Dogs are more commonly affected than cats. The most common reactions are facial swelling and hives, with severe itching and redness of the skin.
More severe, anaphylactic reactions may also include vomiting, collapse, pale gums and labored breathing. The pet may also defecate and urinate. These should be treated immediately at an emergency clinic. Transport to the nearest emergency clinic.
