If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons.  ~C.S. Lewis

Assemble a Pet First Aid Kit

March 1st, 2010 | Author: Valerie

Continuing my “what to do in case of a disaster” series, in which the information was gathered and put together by Beth Fasnacht of Pet Watch, Inc. during our monthly meeting with Georgia Network of Professional Pet Sitters, here is an example of what to put in your pet’s first aid kit.

Here is what you’ll need:

  • Durable waterproof case
  • An informative First Aid guide
  • A cold pack
  • 6 to 8 cotton tipped applicators
  • Eye irrigate
  • Gauze pads
  • Antibiotic ointment
  • Petroleum jelly
  • Flexible bandages that adhere to themselves (and not to your pet’s hair)
  • Syringe
  • Iodine ointment
  • Scissors
  • Adhesive tape
  • Rectal thermometer
  • Tweezers
  • Gloves

For Birds: First Aid Kids Would Have:

  • Stainless steel hemostatic
  • Antiseptic wipes and swabs
  • Forceps
  • Cohesive bandage
  • A curved tip syringe
  • Sterile gauze
  • Styptic powder

For more information, visit the Humane Society of the United States or call the American Red Cross. All agencies will be happy to help you at any time. Be sure to check out all the websites on Disaster Planning for Pets. There is a wealth of information to use. Here is a list of a few of these websites:

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)

American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.

Caring For Birds and Other Small Animals in an Emergency

February 28th, 2010 | Author: Valerie

A couple of weeks ago, I attended my Georgia Network of Professional Pet Sitters monthly meeting, where Beth Fasnacht of Pet Watch, Inc. gave us an excellent presentation on disaster emergency preparation. Here is a little more of what I learned.

Caring For Birds in an Emergency

Birds should be transported in a secure travel cage or carrier. In cold weather, wrap a blanket over the carrier and warm up the car before placing the birds inside. During warm weather, carry a plant mister to mist the bird’s feathers periodically. Do not put water inside the carrier during transport.

  • Provide a few slices of fresh fruits and vegetables with high water content
  • Have a photo for identification and leg bands
  • If the carrier does not have a perch, line it with paper towels and change them frequently
  • Try to keep the carrier in a quiet area. Do not let the birds out of the cage or carrier during an emergency
  • When transporting house lizards, follow the same directions as for birds

What About Other Pets?

Reptiles

Snakes can be transported in a pillowcase, but they must be transferred to more secure housing when they reach the evacuation site.

If the snake requires frequent feedings, carry food with you.

Take a water bowl large enough for soaking as well as a heating pad.

Pocket Pets

Small mammals (hamsters, gerbils, etc.) should be transported in secure carriers suitable for maintaining the animals while at the shelter. Take bedding materials, food bowls, and water bottles.

Life is life–whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.
– Sri Aurobindo
