Pet Care after Car Accidents

For pet owners, there are few fears greater than a pet getting out of the house and getting hit by a car. Such a thing can and is often fatal for pets, but even in the lucky scenario where they survive, the process of getting back to normal can be costly and difficult. The good news is that we at South Side Animal Clinic in Rolla, MO, are here to provide help from a “veterinarian near me” on our veterinary team.

Take Care of Their Wounds

There may be lingering injuries that you need to tend to. Additionally, pets can be rather rambunctious, so even if they look mostly healed, they may open up a wound if they become too active.

Make Them Comfortable

Once your pet has been stabilized, the best way for them to possibly get back to normal is to make them as comfortable as possible. Make sure that they have a comfortable place to rest. On top of that, they should be able to access most of their important amenities without having to walk far. Keep their food and water nearby, and in the case of cats, make sure they don't have to make a trek to go to the litter box.

Follow the Vet's Instructions

You should follow the vet's instructions, as they are the best chance to get your pet fully recovered. We are here to help your pet recover and we provide our instructions to help facilitate that.
