What should I do if my pet is in an accident?
What injuries should I check for if my pet is hit by a car?
ANSWER: Check for external injuries such as bleeding. Wrap those areas with a tight cloth, applying moderate pressure to control the bleeding. - Bring your pet in so that the doctor can check him/her. How can I check to see if my pet is still alive? ANSWER: Does the pet blink? Check this by putting your fingertip gently on the surface of the eyelid. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE EYE - Check for his heartbeat between the left ribs and for breathing from his/her mouth. - When the pupils are constricted (small), they are probably still alive. If the pupils appear dilated (enlarged), this usually means death. |
