Oh no, the unthinkable happens. You are injured in your home and need medical assistance. Or, you get sick and can’t get to your
vehicle to drive yourself to the hospital. You call 911. The ambulance arrives and the crew determines you need to get to a hospital.
An anxious time indeed. Then, you think of it. What will happen to my doggie or
fluffy while I am gone? Will I be in the hospital a long time. Who will care for my
four leggeds then? As some of you know, I am an EMT locally. Unfortunately I
have come across this situation more and more. What happens to our pets if I have
to go to the hospital?
Of course, we never think it will happen. But, what if it does? Do you have a plan
in place if you have to leave them? Is a neighbor nearby that can look after them?
How about family? It would be wise to have a plan in place just in case. What if
you have other animals? Can someone help care for them while you are gone?
Something to think about. Of course, I don’t want anyone to get hurt or sick. Be-
ing a pet owner myself, I want to know that my four legged friend will be cared for if the unthinkable happens. Let EMS, Fire and
Law enforcement know that they are cared for by someone if you have to leave them. We all would feel better knowing you have a
plan for them so we can care for you, whatever the situation.
And by the way, the ticks are out too. Just part of spring.
