NOTE

Any help is as a rule better than no help. This App is intended to help you in a stress situation, to show you how to begin with First Aid but it is not a substitute for a visit to the veterinary surgeon or for attendance at a first aid course for animals. The contents of this application have been compiled with the greatest care; some of the measures (e.g. heart massage) should be practiced in advance under the control of your veterinary physician.
Nevertheless, we hereby disclaim liability for the correctness, the completeness and the up-to-date status of the contents.
