If you have recently been involved in a car accident, you are likely to be sore right now. If your pet was with you during the accident, it could be sore and possibly injured as well. If your pet has suffered an auto accident, you need to bring it to a veterinarian’s office for a thorough pet exam. Contact Dr. Sidhu today at Day Creek Animal Hospital in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
How a Veterinarian Can Help After an Auto Accident
Hopefully, your pet was secured in a travel-safe crate that was buckled in. The right crate and seat belt can protect your pets in the event of a car accident. Still, even with a great crate, your pet could get injured. If your pet was not buckled in, it may have been tossed around in the vehicle. This can result in serious injures as well as aches and pain. By visiting an animal hospital, you can ensure that your pet has not suffered any serious injuries.
Your animal companion may have suffered serious internal injuries during the auto accident. Without a proper pet exam, these injuries may go undetected until it is too late. Furthermore, your pet may have also suffered broken bones and other injuries. A hairline fracture today could turn into a serious break tomorrow.
The Pet Exam
Our veterinarian will examine your cat, dog, or other pet’s injuries. We may order x-rays to examine the bones. If something is wrong with your pet, our veterinarian will be in the best position to assist. Car accidents are serious for people and pets alike. While cars are now built to keep humans safe, featuring airbags and seat belts, these safety features often do not do as good of a job with pets. Even if you walked away from the car accident without any injuries, your animal companion could be injured.
