PETtalk: Is it an Emergency?
Event description
Join CT Humane Society and Dr. Amanda Sterman as we look into what makes something a pet emergency!
As pet lovers, we want to do everything possible to help our four legged companions through a medical emergency, but not all conditions and injuries need to be dealt with right away. Some issues can wait to be seen by your local vet, while other situations require an immediate response from a 24-hour emergency veterinary practice.
During this free webinar, Dr. Amanda Sterman will provide attendees with a better understanding of the most common pet emergencies, why something would be considered an emergency and what your next steps should be should an emergency arise with your beloved pet. Dr. Sterman will also review non-emergency situations and how to best support pets when these arise.
