Hit by car
Your animal may be frightened and hurt, so approach with caution. Use a muzzle if needed to prevent being bitten by an anxious and injured pet. Check for breathing and a heartbeat. Check for obvious fractures and bleeding. Check the gums to see if they are pink and well oxygenated... or pale which might indicate internal bleeding or a shock condition where the patient's blood pressure falls. If there is active bleeding, apply direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage material. If your animal cannot walk, carefully transport it immediately to the veterinarian using a board or a large blanket as a stretcher. Give careful support to any fractured limbs. A veterinarian should examine any pet after a vehicle accident in case there is internal bleeding.
