How to take care of an injured stray puppy
Stay at a safe distance at first.
Before you approach a stray puppy, make sure the animal does not pose a threat to you. It is best to keep a safe distance from the animal while you try to figure out how serious its injuries are and what kind of help it needs.
If you get too close to the puppy, it might bite you, especially if it is frightened or in a lot of pain. Use caution when approaching the injured puppy.
