suffer a fracture
The most common cause of broken bones is car accidents, and sometimes falls from heights and being crushed can cause fractures.
Dislocation
Similar to a fracture is a dislocation. The difference between the two is that a dog with a fracture will drag the broken limb along, while a dog with a dislocation is afraid to land on the affected limb and hops along on all three limbs.
Whether it is a fracture or a dislocation, the dog will be in pain and sometimes lying on the ground shaking. At this point we need to perform basic external immobilization, hold the dog and quickly go to the hospital for treatment.
Hemorrhage
Hemorrhaging, whether caused by trauma or internal bleeding, can be extremely dangerous for your dog.
In first aid, we need to compress the bleeding point to reduce the amount of bleeding, remove the sludge, and send the dog to the hospital as soon as possible after a simple bandage. This is because some wounds require stitches, which are usually not possible at home.
Choking
Puppies are particularly susceptible to more congestion caused by eating something small, and in severe cases suffocation resulting in death from lack of oxygen.
When you see your dog stretching its neck and scratching its mouth and neck with its front paws, it may be choking, and you can pat it on the back to help it spit it out. If it is not effective, you can only carry to the hospital to ask the doctor to help.
Sometimes big dogs can get bones stuck in their throats, which is also dangerous, so get them to a doctor as soon as possible.
Poisoning
Dogs can be poisoned by eating spoiled food, or medicines, especially large dogs that have eaten rats that have been drugged to death.
Symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, cramps, depression, wailing, it is best to know the cause of poisoning, take the dog to the hospital to tell the doctor, to do the right medicine.
Shock
No matter what the cause of shock, we have to carry out the necessary resuscitation before going to the hospital.
At this time, the dog’s limbs are cold, shortness of breath. Lay the dog flat and help it breathe slower by mimicking artificial respiration, closing its mouth and blowing air into its nostrils while massaging its chest. Once the dog is a little better take it to the hospital to find out the cause of the shock and treat it accordingly.
Car Sickness
Motion sickness cannot be considered a disease and the consequences are not serious.
When a dog vomits it may be carsick, so calm it down and rest for a while and it will adjust. Some dogs will never get carsick again after a few trips. For dogs that have the habit of motion sickness do not eat and drink before traveling and serve medicine for motion sickness.
