Over the Telephone Help stabilize the pet. Do not try to diagnose or tell the concerned pet owner that it is not an emergency. Provide information and let them make the decision. Inform of change of animal behavior Instruct: Use a muzzle to prevent biting. oUse pantyhose, leash, rope or twine If muzzle is not practical use a blanket. Traumatized animals: Use plywood and blankets to transport. Cats should be transported by box or carrier.

Emergency Care Facility If you are talking with the concerned pet owner you should instruct them to take their animal to to an Emergency Care Facility. Emergency Care Facilities provide: Supplemental oxygen Diagnostic equipment Incubators Resuscitation equipment Make the animal a top priority by having a gurney or stretcher ready, and administrate emergency care immediately.

OH NO! It’s an EMERGENCY! Scenario: You will take on the role of the vet or vet assistance. You have answered a call from a concerned pet owner, and you must assist them with their emergency situation. I will hand out a scenario. You will work with a partner to determine the proper emergency care, and then you will report that information to the concerned pet owner. Partners- vet or vet assistant Classmates- concerned pet owner You will have 2 minutes to determine proper emergency care and then I will call on groups to present the information.
