The First thing to remember is

DON'T PANIC

Contact your Vet as soon as possible and explain the problem

They will advise you if your pet needs urgent attention

DON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO EAT OR DRINK UNLESS THE VET TELLS YOU TO DO SO

There are ways that you can prepare for emergencies, and first aid can often save a life.

1. Keep the name, address and telephone number of your own vet next to the phone.

2. Keep a working pen and paper by the phone to take down instructions if necessary.

3. Don't dash along to the practice without telephoning first.

4. Keep a Pet First Aid kit at home and with you when you are travelling.

If you suspect your Pet has been poisoned CONTACT YOUR VET IMMEDIATLY,
