One of the most important things to know as a pet owner is dog first aid. Having a few supplies at your house and knowing what to do when your dog is in trouble can save their life.
The first thing that you should have at your house is a first aid kit for your pet. You can make one yourself or buy one from your veterinarian. First, make sure you have your veterinarian's phone number on a card along with the local emergency clinic address and phone number and poison control number. You should also have your pet's rabies certificate on hand as well, just in case you need to show the papers to the emergency clinic. It would also be a good idea to have other medical papers that could be of importance. For example, any allergies that your pet has along with when they last had all of their vaccinations. This information will help to assist the emergency clinic veterinarian if your dog has to go there.
In putting together an emergency first aid kit for your home for your pet, you should buy a couple of items that can help you save your pet. One item to have is a rectal thermometer. If your dog seems to be abnormal, check their temperature. If their temperature is lower than 100 degrees and higher than 103 degrees, your dog needs to go to the veterinarian or the emergency clinic. Also make sure to have a leash and a muzzle. If your dog is in pain and under stress, they might bite you. A pack of square gauze is good to have in case your pet is bleeding. This will help to minimize the bleeding and clean off any wounds. Gloves should be on hand and worn if your pet is bleeding.
Nonstick bandages and bandage tape is important to use besides human band-aids because these will help protect a wound and stop bleeding. Human band-aids can get stuck in your pet's fur and cause more discomfort for them. Band-aids are intended for human use only, not for pets. Milk of magnesia is crucial to your pet's health if they eat something that is poisonous. Milk of magnesia will absorb the poison that is in your dog's stomach; however, consult your veterinarian first before administering this to your pet. Also make sure to have a clean, dry towel for your first aid kit to use to dry your pet, or any other practical purposes. If your pet is unable to move and a stretcher is needed, you can use a doormat, poster board, or anything else that is sturdy and will not collapse.
Always remember, if your pet is ill, do not panic. Make sure to keep your first aid materials in a spot where you can easily locate them. Immediately call your veterinarian or local emergency center to ensure that your pet is not in danger. Your number one priority with your pet is to make sure that they live a long, happy and healthy life.
