Our volunteer veterinary teams provide free veterinary care via popup street clinics to pets of people experiencing homelessness. We often go out into encampments or other locations where minimal support is available. Recognizing this is a BIG topic, would it be possible to include a general resource that can help teams identify a mental health crisis and tips on how to de-escalate and/or safely support that individual until city/county services can be contacted? Thanks so much for organizing this discussion!

I would love to see policy and procedures for conducting street clinics. We currently offer vaccination clinics, but I would like to see us expand into more complete exams and treatments where possible.

I'm most interested in 3) unresponsive pets and 1) heat stress!

These are the most common and terrifying emergency scenarios for pet parents-whether it's a cat overheating in summer or a dog suddenly going limp, it's easy to panic. I'd love to hear step-by-step guidance on how to check for responsiveness, perform basic CPR, and prioritize cooling vs. rushing to the vet during heat stress-this is life-saving knowledge.

I'm also looking forward to 2) Animal Bites-accidents happen, and knowing how to properly clean and care for bite wounds can prevent serious infections. Thank you for putting together such a vital webinar! 🐾
