Safety Tips:
Pets severely ill or injured may bite, claw, or act aggressively toward those trying to help them. Approach any injured or sick pet slowly and calmly; say their name and see how the animal reacts. Call for help if the pet responds aggressively.
If a dog is unable to move, create an improvised stretcher to assist. Make sure the neck is supported.
Slowly place a blanket or towel over the head for the cat to prevent biting. Slowly lift the animal into an open-topped carrier or box.
Elevate and apply pressure to any bleeding wound.If you think your pet has eaten something poisonous:
Call us immediately! If after hours, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435. Trained toxicologists will consider the age and health of your pet and what was ingested and then recommend what action should be taken.

Pet X-Rays
Radiographs, or X-rays, use electromagnetic radiation directed towards the body to highlight objects within. They can detect abnormalities, including skeletal fractures, soft tissue damage, foreign bodies, and dental disease. Digital X-rays also use less radiation, decrease exposure, and provide more detailed images.
Orthopedic radiographs and contrast studies require the patient to remain completely still to work correctly, necessitating sedation in most cases. Some specialized procedures may require anesthesia. The duration of sedation or anesthesia is usually short, and patient recovery is swift.
At the Animal Emergency Clinic of the Hudson Valley, we are aware that our cherished pets are more than just household members; they hold a special place in our hearts.
