New law supports first responders who treat injured pets
The law will allow first responders to, without fear of liability, provide oxygen, perform mouth-to-snout resuscitation, try to stem bleeding, bandage and even administer the overdose antidote naloxone to dogs or cats that have ingested opiates.
Liability has been a concern because owners of pets have sued first responders who treated animals that ended up dying.
