Saving an Injured or Abandoned Animal

admin     2013年3月17日 19:23

When saving an injured stray animal, please take it to the nearest registered vet or registered pet hospital to get the right treatment immediately. Unfortunately there are many fake vets who perform procedures or prescribe medications that are costly to pet owners and detrimental to the pet. Therefore finding properly registered vets is very important!

 

A vet visit could cost from hundreds to thousands of rmb. Different clinics charge differently. It is prudent to inquire and obtain an estimate before giving consent to the procedure.

 

If the medical cost is low or within your budget, you may want to cover the whole cost yourself. If the medical cost is very high, you can send a message to the appropriate forums like taobao, Weibo and many pet forums and ask for help from the animal lovers’ community. Please keep all documentation and receipts from the vet visit if you intend to look for donation or support from rescue groups.

 

In situations where the trauma to the injured animal is advanced or irreversible, the vet may recommend euthanasia (humane killing) for the animal. This may well be the most humane way to take care of the animal. You could choose to consult with one or more vet before making the decision.
