What to do in an animal emergency

• Stay Calm: getting panicked will only agitate an injured animal more
• Be Careful: even the most beloved family pet will bite as a response to pain
• Call your veterinarian and seek veterinary advice regarding the situation to determine if your pet needs to be seen immediately
• For badly injured strays you can: Take the animal inform treatment at your expense or call Dispatch for Code Enforcement (funds are very limited for injured animals)
