http://petplace.netscape.com/article...asp?artID=2526 has some info:

Note especially applying pressure to bleeding wounds, administering CPR, and
keeping the cat covered to help calm him/her.

I'll google a bit more re the shock and feeding questions. I'm just
searching using {"emergency care" cats}

Hi,

We found a cat in our yard this afternoon, looks like he was just hit by a
car, or fell..He was limping, barely walking, left leg seems out of

joint -
it is at an "off" angle..there is a big scrape at the "hip" part of the
leg..

We have him on a pillow in a box...We called the emergency vet, he is
supposed to be here ASAP.

What should we do until then - the cat seems calm, he is lying down on the
pillow. Should we put a blanket over him, like when a person goes into
shock? Give him some tuna fish to nibble on to keep him happy?

thanks so much..I think we're more scared than he is!!!

Sharon
