Pet Questions and Answers
Question: My Dog has been hit by a car! What do I do?
Answer:    Every animal that has been hit by a car should be seen at an animal hospital immediately.  Even pets that seem ok could have internal damage that could lead to death if left untreated.  Every pet should receive shock therapy, observation and radiographs of the chest and abdomen.  Don't wait!  A pet that could be saved may die if you take the "lets wait and see" approach.
