Fracture
The most common cause of fractures is a car accident, sometimes falling from a height, being squeezed and crushed can also cause fractures. Similar to a fracture is a dislocation. The difference between the two is that a broken dog will drag the broken limb away, while a dislocated dog will not dare to touch the ground and jump on three limbs.
Whether it is broken or dislocated, the dog will be in pain and sometimes tremble when lying on the ground. At this time, we have to perform basic external fixation, hug the dog and go to the hospital for treatment.
Heavy bleeding
Whether it is bleeding caused by trauma, or bleeding from internal organs, it is extremely dangerous for dogs. In the first aid, the bleeding point should be compressed to reduce the amount of bleeding, the sludge should be removed, and the hospital should be sent to the hospital after a simple dressing. Because some wounds need to be sutured, this is generally not possible at home.
Choking
Puppies are particularly susceptible to infarctions caused by eating small things. In severe cases, suffocation can cause hypoxia and death. When you see the dog stretch its neck vigorously and keep grabbing its mouth and neck with its front paws, it may be an infarct. At this time, you can tap its back to help it spit out. If it doesn't work, you can only take it to the hospital for doctor's help. Sometimes the throat of a big dog will be blocked by bones, etc., which is also very dangerous. Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Poisoning
Dogs are poisoned when they eat rotten food or drugs, especially when large dogs eat rats that have been killed by drugs. Symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, cramps, malaise, and wailing. At this time, it is best to know the cause of the poisoning. When you take your dog to the hospital, you can tell the doctor to prescribe the right medicine.
Shock
No matter what the cause of the shock, we must carry out the necessary emergency treatment before going to the hospital. At this time, the dog's limbs were cold and his breathing was short. Lay the dog on its back to help it breathe slowly. The method is to imitate artificial respiration, close its mouth, blow into the nostrils, and massage its chest cavity at the same time. After the dog got better a little, he was sent to the hospital to find out the cause of the shock, and he was treated accordingly.
Motion sickness
Motion sickness is not considered an illness, and the consequences are not serious. When the dog is vomiting, it may be motion sickness. Let it calm down and get used to it after a short rest. Some dogs will never get sick again after fainting a few times. For dogs with the habit of motion sickness, do not eat or drink before going out, and provide medicine for treating motion sickness.
Vitamin deficiency
Vitamin A deficiency
(1) Cause
Dogs have a relatively large demand for vitamin A. If the green feed is not eaten for a long time, or the feed is boiled, it will cause the destruction of carotene, or dogs who have chronic enteritis for a long time are susceptible to this disease.
(2) Symptoms
The main symptoms are dry eye with night blindness, thickened cornea and turbidity, dry skin, disheveled coat, ataxia, and motor dysfunction. There may also be pelvic blood and physical failure.
(3) Treatment
Cod liver oil or vitamin a can be taken orally, 400 international units per day 2F kg body weight. In the diets of pregnant dogs, lactating bitches and puppies, sufficient vitamin A should be protected. Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of triple vitamins (including vitamin a, vitamin d3 and vitamin e) 0.5 to 1 ml, or in Add 1 drop of triple vitamin to dog feed for 3 to 4 weeks.
2. Vitamin B deficiency
First, when thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin b1) is deficient, the dog may have irreparable neurological symptoms. The affected dog is wasting, anorexia, general weakness, impaired or lost vision, and sometimes has unstable gait and tremors, followed by paresis and convulsions.
Second, when riboflavin (vitamin b2) is deficient, the dog suffers from cramps, pelvic blood, bradycardia and collapse, as well as dry squamous dermatitis and hypertrophic steatodermatitis.
Third, when niacinamide and niacin (vitamin pp) are deficient, black tongue disease is a characteristic, that is, the dog shows loss of appetite, thirst, moist and red mouth mucosa, and dense pustules are formed on the lips, buccal mucosa and tongue tip. The tongue coating is thickened and gray-black (black tongue). There is a foul smell in the mouth, and sticky and foul-smelling saliva flows out, and some are accompanied by bloody diarrhea.
The treatment of vitamin B deficiency should be based on the condition of the disease. When vitamin b1 is deficient, can give dogs oral hydrochloric acid, thiamine 10-25 mg/time, or oral thiamine 10-25 mg/time. When vitamin b2 is deficient, riboflavin can be taken orally 10-25 mg/time. When vitamin pp is deficient, niacinamide or niacin can be taken orally, at 0.2～0.6 mg/kg body weight.
