If your pet is severely injured, he/she may be aggressive with the pet parents and therefore, your primary focus should be protecting yourself and your family from potential injury. If your dog is injured, approach him with caution calmly and slowly. Kneel down with care and call out his/her name. If you notice signs of aggression, seek help. On the other hand, if your pet is passive, make a temporary stretcher and put him/her on it gently. Ensure that the back and neck are supported, particularly if your pet has suffered spinal injuries.
If you are dealing with a cat, put a blanket over the head of the cat so that it does not bite you and slowly lift and put her in a box with an open top. If you suspect a spinal injury, you should also ensure that the cat’s head has adequate support to prevent the neck from twisting.
