Hello everyone, I am a naughty dad, a serious pet keeper.
It's strange to say. Most dogs have a docile personality and are loyal and friendly to people. But they will treat their own kind as enemies and attack each other.
For example, on weekdays, when the shoveling officer is walking the dog, his own dog and other dogs fight without a word, and they do not give in to each other, either you die or I live, but you have to compete with each other. The shoveler sometimes can't stop it. As a result, it is conceivable that both dogs have scaled each other, leaving behind a "mess" (the dog's wound) that has to be dealt with by the shoveler.
When the shoveler sees his dog injured, don't mess around. Should be treated calmly. A dog's wound can be treated by following the steps below.
1. Judge the size of the injury
First look at the size of the dog's wound to determine the severity of the injury. If there is only a slight abrasion (no bleeding), it can be handled at home. However, in the case of heavy bleeding, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for treatment. In the case that the shoveler cannot determine the injury, it is advisable to go to the pet hospital.
2. Clean the wound in time
If there is a minor abrasion or scratch and the wound is not bleeding, the shoveler can treat the dog at home.
First, carefully examine several of the dog's wounds and shave off all the hairs that surround the wounds so that the wounds are exposed. Trim carefully along the edges of the wound to avoid hurting the dog again.
Then, prepare normal saline and iodine, first wash the dog's wound with normal saline, and rinse off the dirt. Move gently. Apply iodine to the surface of the wound to avoid wound infection.
Finally, after the dog is injured, the temperament will become irritable, and when cleaning the wound, people can help to pull the dog's jaw and hold the dog to prevent the dog from moving and biting people. After cleaning, you can put an Elizabethan ring on the dog, do not let the dog scratch or lick the wound, so as not to infect germs.
3. Disinfect and stop bleeding and bandage
If the dog fights and bites, resulting in a large wound and a torn surface of the skin, there will also be tears and wounds in the subcutaneous tissue. Follow the above steps to help the dog clean the wound first. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide, wet the sterile gauze and cover the wound with sterile tape. Bring your dog to the doctor in time. Note: When disinfecting, try not to use alcohol. Because alcohol is more irritating, dogs may not be able to stand biting, irritability, and barking.
4. Stop the bleeding and send it to the hospital for infusion
If the dog is in a situation of massive bleeding, the first step is definitely to stop the bleeding. Press the wound with sterile gauze to prevent the dog from losing too much blood and causing death. If there is no sterile gauze at home, you can replace it with a cotton short sleeve and press the wound until the hospital. For this life-threatening hemorrhagic injury, it is quite a serious situation, and it is necessary to let the pet doctor carry out professional treatment, targeted infusion, anti-inflammatory, and ligation of aortic blood vessels to stop bleeding and other treatment measures.
5. Vaccination prophylaxis
If the dog is bitten, the shoveler must bring the dog to be vaccinated to prevent rabies vaccine virus infection, or to contract other infectious diseases when immunity is low. Tetanus vaccines are, of course, essential. After the fight, the isolation observation is carried out, and in the short term, the shoveler tries not to have too intimate behavior with the dog. Even dogs that have been immunized must be vaccinated again after being bitten!
6. Supplement with certain nutrients
When the health is damaged, it is necessary to provide adequate nutrition to help the dog recover from its health and accelerate the healing of the wound. When the shoveler treats the dog, he should accompany and comfort the dog intimately, and pay attention to letting the dog eat high-protein and high-nutrient foods. For example, egg yolks, chicken breast meat, goat milk powder and so on. With the careful care of the shoveler, the dog will definitely be strong enough to survive the stage of injury and sadness.
7. Pay attention to subsequent recovery
Observe the dog's wound every day for scabs, the fusion of the wound. Whether it is pus, whether it is red and swollen. It is found that the dog wound becomes dirty, and it can be gently scrubbed with a cotton ball dipped in normal saline, which can not only clean the wound, but also prevent infection. Whether the dog needs to take painkillers and antibiotics. Ask the doctor what to look out for, when the dog is free to move around, etc.
Summary: Nowadays, there are many shovelers walking dogs in the streets and alleys, and dogs may be discordant in aura and unpleasant to each other, and fights are more common. In order to avoid injuries to dogs, the shoveler must tie a leash when walking the dog to prevent the dogs from attacking each other. When the dogs bite each other, use the leash to lead the dog, do not block it yourself, try to choose the appropriate tool, and separate the dogs.
Finally, may all the dogs in the world, let the master save his snack!
