It's easy to panic when an animal you care for is hurt. The fear of doing the wrong thing, or nothing at all, can be overwhelming.
The internet is full of conflicting advice. It's hard to know what's safe or effective in a real emergency situation.
New Zealand has unique risks. You may not be aware of common dangers, from toxic plants in the garden to hazards on a bush walk.
