Basic first-aid strategies may help stabilize your pet for transport. Once you feel confident transporting your pet, head to our Blountville veterinary hospital immediately. Call us ahead of time if you can.
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 while supporting the neck and back areas.
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 as you do so.
