A Tip - Blood Test Results for an Emergency

Here is a great tip from Kathie, CP volunteer and mom to Spanks da Man:
If you have done a blood panel on your dog, make a copy and put it in the glove compartment of your car. Actually if you have more than one vehicle put it in the glove compartments of every one. Also put a copy somewhere safe in your purse.

We all know that dogs get very sick or have accidents only when our regular vet is closed. That is just the way is goes . In an emergency, when rushing to the emergency vet, having a copy of your dog's blood panel gives the e-vet something to compare to the bloods he or she probably will be taking at the time of the emergency.

I say put it in your glove compartment because in a panic we can forget our purses but we can not forget the glove compartments of our cars. So we will have the info to give the e-vet. I keep, in the same envelope, one of the insurance reimbursement forms as well. This way in my panic I will not forget that also.
