First aid while you wait
General guidance only, not a substitute for a veterinarian. Keep yourself safe.
Hit by a vehicle
An animal hit on the road may have injuries you cannot see.
Do
- Make sure you are safe from traffic first.
- Slow the traffic with a light or hazard lights if you can do so safely.
- If the animal must be moved, slide a board, sheet or mat under it and lift it level.
- Keep it calm, quiet and shaded.
Don't
- Do not lift by the legs or neck.
- Do not give food or water if it is breathing badly or bleeding a lot.
Get a vet when: Always. Any road accident needs a vet check, even if the animal walks away.
General first-aid guidance; awaiting review by our vet.
Bleeding wound
Steady pressure is the most useful thing you can do.
Do
- Press a clean cloth firmly on the wound and hold it.
- If blood soaks through, add more cloth on top and keep pressing.
- Keep the animal still.
Don't
- Do not pour anything into the wound.
- Do not remove the first cloth.
Get a vet when: Bleeding does not slow after 5 minutes of pressure, or blood is spurting.
General first-aid guidance; awaiting review by our vet.
Heatstroke
Heavy panting, drooling, weakness or collapse on a hot day.
Do
- Move the animal into shade.
- Wet its body with cool (not ice-cold) water, especially belly and paws.
- Offer small amounts of water if it can drink on its own.
- Fan it gently.
Don't
- Do not use ice or ice-cold water.
- Do not force water into the mouth.
Get a vet when: It collapses, vomits, has a seizure or does not improve in 15 minutes.

- Note or photograph what it may have eaten.
- Keep it calm and quiet.

- Do not give milk, oil or any home remedy.

Maggot wound
An open wound with maggots needs a vet; it gets worse every hour.
Do
- Keep flies away by covering the area loosely with a clean cloth.
- Keep the animal in shade and note the exact location.
Don't
- Do not pour kerosene, phenyl, turpentine or any chemical on the wound.
- Do not try to pull maggots out deep inside.

- If it must be moved, use a board or blanket as a stretcher.
Don't
- Do not try to straighten the limb.
- Do not let it walk on the leg.
Get a vet when: Always. It needs an X-ray and a vet.
General first-aid guidance; awaiting review by our vet.
Abandoned puppies or kittens
The mother may be nearby looking for food.

- Keep the box in a quiet, dark, warm place.
Don't
- Do not give water or food by force.
- Do not keep handling it.
Get a vet when: It is bleeding, has a hanging wing, or was caught by a cat or kite string (manjha).
