How to judge the severity of the dog s physical damage when it is sick

You should master some solutions to deal with unexpected emergencies in your dog, including two situations: in one case, the dog is traumatized or has other problems, and you can also deal with these problems; in the other case, you need to deal with some emergency treatment to the dog before sending it to the hospital. The so-called first aid is often more important. In some cases, even if the dog is sent to the hospital, the doctor will not do more than you. In any case, it is always useful to learn a little bit of first aid knowledge of dogs.

Under any circumstances, a dog that is in a coma should be wrapped in a blanket to maintain the dog's necessary body temperature, but be careful not to wrap it too tightly that affects the dog's breathing. If you think the dog has lost consciousness, quickly straighten the dog's neck, open the dog's mouth and pull out the dog's tongue. The purpose of this is to prevent the dog from breathing due to its tongue blocking its breath when it is unconscious. Then all you have to do is get in touch with the veterinarian as soon as possible.

The first thing you need to know is how sick your dog is. You can learn about the severity of physical damage in a dog from the following ways.

Will skin diseases of dogs be transmitted to people? What diseases do dogs have to be transmitted to people?

1. Under normal circumstances, the number of breaths per minute of dogs is 20-30 times per minute. If this number exceeds this number, it means that the dog is in poor condition. The more breaths exceed the normal number, the more serious the condition is.

2. Under normal circumstances, the heart rate of a dog is about 90 beats per minute. The larger the dog breed, the lower the heart rate; otherwise, the higher the heart rate. Some large dogs have only 50 heartbeats per minute, while many small dogs have heart rates of 150 times per minute - you should know your dog's normal heart rate in normal times and ask a veterinarian if necessary. When an accident occurs in a dog, you can hold the dog's chest with your hands, calculate the dog's heartbeat, and judge the dog's physical condition.

3. Gently touch the inner corner of the dog with your hands, and the awake dog will blink constantly. If the dog does not respond, it means the dog is already in a coma.

4. Use a flashlight to shine on the dog's pupils, and the pupils should be contracted; another situation is that the pupil is already in a contracted state, which may very likely mean that the dog's brain is damaged.

5. Pick the dog's toes. If the dog does not fall into a deep coma, the dog's legs will retract.

6. If the dog is in a coma due to trauma, you can press the dog's gum with your fingers. If the gums quickly return to their original color, it means that the dog's blood loss is not serious; if the situation is the opposite, it is likely that the trauma will bleed continuously, and there may even be severe internal bleeding.

Your dog will sometimes be injured in the tearing of another dog or even a cat. Bite by a dog is different from other lacerations, but it will cause serious damage to the soft tissue under the skin. Therefore, you should carefully check the dog who returns home from alone. If you find that it is anxious, you should also check carefully to see if it is caused by the bite. When dealing with a bite, first cut off the hair near the wound, then clean the broken hair, carefully clean the wound with warm water, then disinfect it with a gentle disinfectant, and finally apply the wound with ointment to prevent infection. You can also apply some antibiotic ointment. After doing this, you can choose to let the dog recover naturally, but I still recommend you to see a doctor.

Dogs who are too curious are often bitten by insects such as bees. This type of injury often occurs on the dog's face, especially around the dog's mouth and eyes. Because bees' stings are difficult to find, you often notice that the dog is inexplicably irritable, and then you will see that the bitten part gradually swelling. Take a magnifying glass and carefully find the part of the dog's bitten, and you can usually find the thorns that are stinged inside. Find a tweezer to pinch out the sting and make some cold compresses on the red and swollen place of the dog, which will be more conducive to the dog's recovery.
