Shock treatment

When a pet appears to be listless and may have collapsed, and no other external signs are visible then it might be suffering from shock. To identify the condition:

• Check your pet's gums, ordinarily they should be a pink colour and when gently pressed should turn white at the point of touch and then return to the pink colour.
• If the pet is suffering from shock the gums will appear very pale or white.
• It is important to keep the pet warm and avoid any sudden movement.
