Image1FIRST AID FOR CATS & DOGS

Do you know what to do in the case of a medical emergency involving your cat or dog? Your actions in a critical situation can play an important part in your pet’s survival of a medical emergency. The Student Chapter of the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (SVECCS) at CSU is offering a first aid program to instruct pet owners on how to handle emergency situations as well as how to safely manage pet care and transport on the way to the veterinary clinic. Topics covered include pet CPR, bandaging, common poisons, insect stings, snakebites, trauma and heat stroke. Although this class is not intended to take the place of proper veterinary care, it will help the pet owner manage emergency situations effectively to increase the chance of survival before the pet arrives at the veterinary clinic. The 6-hour class will be a combination of lecture and labs presented by CSU veterinarians and veterinary students.
