Emergency tips:
Keep yourself safe from biting or scratching pets. Injured pets may bite or scratch their caregivers when in pain. Use caution. Cover the pet’s head with a thick blanket or towel or use a makeshift muzzle to keep the pet from biting.
Do not bathe an injured pet prior to the emergency visit. Bathing may lower the body temperature or cause further injury to the pet.
Blankets can be used as slings or gurneys to safely move injured pets into vehicles for transportation or from the outside into the home or other shelter. Open the blanket, gently set the pet in the middle, and pick up the 4 corners to move the injured pet.
