Ohio bill would allow medics to treat animals

According to the bill, medics would be allowed to provide assistance to animals once all the humans on scene are treated

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A new bill headed for the state Senate would allow EMTs and paramedics to treat animals on the scene of an incident.
"Previously EMTs and paramedics were not able to treat animals because their scope of license prevented them from doing that," State Rep. Steve Huffman told the Journal-News.
If the bill passes, medics will be allowed to administer oxygen, stop the bleeding and provide other aid to animals once the humans on the scene are treated.
Medics won’t be able to assist animals unless they are already on the scene of a human emergency.
