About this tool
Pick a situation and the tool lists immediate first steps to take while you contact a vet. This is emergency information only, not veterinary advice, and it does not replace urgent professional care, so contact a vet as fast as you can in any emergency.
Frequently asked questions
Is this veterinary advice?
No. It is emergency information only. A vet must assess and treat the animal.
What should I keep ready?
Your vet's number, an emergency clinic number, a clean cloth, and a carrier, all where you can reach them quickly.
