Muzzle
Use a strip of soft cloth, rope, necktie, nylon stocking, or shoe lace. Wrap around the nose, under the chin and tie behind the ears. Care must be taken when handling weak or injured pets. Even normally docile pets will bite when in pain. Allow the pet to pant after handling by loosening or removing the muzzle. Do not use a muzzle in a case of vomiting. Cats and small pets may be difficult to muzzle. A towel placed around the head will help control small pets.
Stretcher
Use a board, blanket, or floor mat can be used as a stretcher to transport injured or weak animals.
