How to deal with dog trauma

How to treat dog injuries:

1. When the owner finds that the dog is injured and bleeding somewhere, he must first check the severity of the wound. If it is not serious, you can remove the hair attached to the wound for the dog, expose the wound, and prepare a ring-shaped isolation belt about 2 cm away from the wound, which is conducive to centralized cleaning and disinfection of the wound later.

2. After the wound is exposed, it is necessary to clean and disinfect the wound. First confirm whether there is any foreign body in the wound, and if so, remove it with sterilized tweezers. Disinfect the wound with normal saline or povidone iodine, etc., and squeeze out the blood and dirt in the wound while washing. After cleaning, use sterile gauze to wipe off the excess disinfectant around the wound. If the foreign body is large and the wound is deep, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

3. After cleaning the wound, be sure to apply medicine to the wound. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as aureomycin ointment and Yunnan Baiyao can be used to avoid wound infection.

4. If the dog's wound is large, it must be bandaged to avoid bacterial infection. If it is a small but deep wound, it is not recommended to bandage it to avoid anaerobic bacteria and other bacterial infections. In addition, it is best not to bandage the wound when the temperature is very high.

5. After bandaging the dog's wound, you must pay more attention to the healing of the wound in the later stage to avoid infection. Change the gauze for your dog every day to keep the wound clean and reduce the chance of infection.

Precautions for treating dog wounds:

1. When cleaning the wound, make sure that the gauze, disinfectant and the owner's hands are sterile, and thoroughly disinfect the hands before cleaning the wound.

2. When treating the dog's wound, the action should be gentle, quick, and careful.

3. To ensure that the dog's wound is dry, if it is only a small wound, it is recommended to expose it to the outside.

4. When necessary, it should be combined with systemic medication to avoid infection and improve the dog's immune resistance.

5. Pay close attention to the dog's wound, pay attention to redness, swelling and suppuration.

6. After a few days, the dog's wound still has no scab, and even blood or secretions still flow out. It is recommended to take the dog to the doctor.
