| Frostbite |
|
Signs
The skin of frozen extremities will appear pale and cold often separating from the
underlying tissues.
What to do if frostbite occurs
- Wrap pet in towel or blanket
- Place warm water bottles or other source of heat between your pet and the towel, to restore body core temperature. Be careful not to burn your pet!
- If you can not get to the veterinarian immediately, bathe frozen parts in increasingly warm water until pink color is restored.
- Confine to box or carrier, and go to the veterinarian immediately!
