subject: Providing Fast Emergency Pet Care [print this page] Many times emergency pet care needs immediate attention and knowing simple techniques can be the difference between getting professional treatment in time or not. One significant factor to remember is how useful water is in dealing with a lot of pet related circumstances. For example, you might distract fighting pets by throwing a bucket of water at their heads or spraying them with a garden hose. To determine where a pet has been injured if it is bleeding heavily, rinsing the wound with clear water is your first step. Cool towels may as well be utilized to help lower the temperature in a pet enduring the effects from dehydration or heat stroke.
