What to do in a Pet Emergency
Basic First-Aid Strategies Can Be Helpful
Basic first-aid strategies may help stabilize your pet for transport. Once you feel confident transporting your pet, head to our Lithia Springs veterinary hospital immediately. Call us ahead of time if you can.
- Strategies for Dogs
Slowly and calmly approach your dog, kneel down and call their name. If there is any indication of aggression back away and call for help. If your pet seems passive, construct a makeshift stretcher and gently lift him or her onto it supporting the neck and back areas.
- Strategies for Cats
To help prevent your cat from biting, if they experience pain as you stabilize them, gently place a blanket or towel over their head. Slowly lift your cat and place him or her in an open-topped carrier or box, supporting the head and neck area carefully.
Continuing Care After The Emergency
- Our experienced veterinary team is here to see you through a pet emergency. When it's time to go back to your primary veterinarian for post-emergency and ongoing care, we'll ensure they have access to our records for the care we have provided for your pet.
