For safety and animal welfare, I have been using the rule that documentation ends where approach begins.
If I have to move toward the animal to keep documenting, I stop documenting. If I have to step into water, I stop. If a fence is involved, I am done.
Does anyone have a more formal distance recommendation, or is 'do not become part of the report' as close as we get?
water first. story second.
