Giving your pets first aid when
you feel like they are sick is not as easy as it seems. Where to start? What to
do? Is this the proper way to it?
You should call a vet
immediately, if you feel like there’s something wrong with your pet. For those
who are around New York area, you can call Brian Manor’s Emergency Vet clinic
24/7 they are available. They can be reached anytime.
Here are some tips on how to do
the first aid.
First off, taking the
temperature. So can you do it? Lubricate a rectal thermometer with Vaseline or
a K-Y jelly then gently insert it to your pets anus just about 1-2 inches
inside it.
You can also use an ear
thermometer so it will be easier for you. The normal temperature is
101-102ºF. If your pet has a high temperature, most
likely the sickness is caused by an infection. However, heavy exercise,
excitement or laying in the sun on a hot day can cause false elevations. Subnormal
readings can indicate weakness and lethargy, but don't be fooled by cold
weather or after-nap chills.
