How can I safely transport a hurt animal?

The first step in safely transporting a hurt animal is to handle it with care and minimize any further injury or stress. If the animal is too large or too injured to be held, then a suitable carrier or container should be used. If the animal is small, use a box, crate, or cage. Line the bottom of the container with a soft cloth or towel to cushion it and keep it warm. If possible, secure a blanket or towel over the animal to comfort it. Make sure the container is well-ventilated and securely closed. When transporting the animal, be sure to drive slowly and take frequent stops to check on the animal's condition.
