How to Stabilize Your Pet in an Emergency
Sometimes seconds count when you are on your way to an emergency vet clinic with your pet. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with some basic pet first aid techniques, in case you need to stabilize your pet. If you have someone driving you to Curbside Vet or if we are coming to your location, here are some tips on keeping your pet stable:
- If your pet is bleeding, apply pressure to the wound site with a cloth. If possible, elevate the wound.
- In a choking emergency, try to remove the object from your pet’s airway with a finger. If that fails, try administering a sharp rap to your pet’s chest.
- Pet CPR: If your pet’s heart stops or if he has stopped breathing, lay him on his side. Breathe in through the nostrils while holding the mouth closed (one breath every 3 seconds). Administer three chest compressions in between each breath.
