When your pet has an emergency! first aid is not a substitute for veterinary（兽医的）treatment.However,before you are able to get your pet to a veterinarian（兽医）,knowing some basic first aid can help.
Bite Wounds
Approach the pet carefully to avoid getting bitten.Wear a mask for the animal and then check the wound.Clean the wound with large amounts of saline solution（盐溶液）.If it is not available,then regular water may be used.Wrap large open wounds to keep them clean.
Bleeding

Check to see if the animal is choking on a foreign object.If the animal is not breathing,place it on a firm surface with its left side up.Check for a heartbeat.If you hear a heartbeat but not breathing,close the animal's mouth and breathe directly into its nose—not the mouth—until the chest,expands.Repeat 12 to 15 times per minute.

On a cold winter morning,I boarded a bus in Tennessee's Reelfoot Lake State Park.Thousands of tourists visit the park each year because of its unique beauty and interesting history.The lake was formed in 1812 when a very strong earthquake struck.Because official records weren't kept then,no one knows exactly how strong it was.But two things are certain.The landscape was changed completely,and Reelfoot't 18,000-acre lake was formed.
On this day,though,everyone arrived to see something other than the lake-the bald eagles（秃鹰）.During the winter,hundreds of eagles fly south to Reelfoot Lake from the northern US and Canada.They're searching for water where they can get their daily supply of fish Eagles eat one half to one pound of food a day,and fish is their favorite. Most of the visiting eagles will fly north again when spring arrives.But for a few months,tourists flock here to see America t s national bird.
The bald eagle is one of America's largest birds of prey and has keen vision,spotting objects a mile away.
The birds mate for life and usually return to the same nest every year.Their nests,some of the world's largest,are often cone-shaped.In the spring,the female will lay one to three eggs.Then she and her male take turns warming the eggs and guarding the nest.
It is believed that at one time there were half a million eagles in North America.By 1963,though,their numbers had dropped to 417 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states.There were many causes,but the major reason was the use of the pesticide DDT.In 1972 the US forbade the pesticide,and bald eagles now number around 9,800 nesting pairs.
While bald eagles are no longer endangered,there are still laws that provide protection for them.People everywhere hope this proud bird will fly free in the skies for many years to come.
