Sure, you may be a master of human First Aid. But do you know what to do in a dog health emergency?





Approaching Dog Health Emergencies: Two Steps



  1. In any dog health emergency, stay calm and think.

  2. Approach the dog cautiously. The dog may become aggressive because of fear or pain. You can’t help the dog if you’re hurt yourself.



Dog Emergency 1: Traffic Accident:



  1. If possible, do not to move the dog.

  2. Call the nearest Humane Society or ASPCA office.

  3. If the animal workers can’t or won’t come and you must move the dog, slide a blanket under the animal. Lift the animal to safety with the help of another person.

  4. Check for a heartbeat and bleeding. Try to stop the excessive loss of blood by holding a clean cloth or pad over the wound and securing it tightly with a makeshift bandage.

  5. Take the dog to the nearest vet, calling ahead to prepare them for the emergency.



    6. Dog Heathcare Emergency 2: Burns



    1. Immerse the burned body part in cold running water for as long as possible.


    2. If the burn is from a caustic substance, wash it off.


    3. Call the vet.




      4. Canine Health Emergency 3: Heat stroke



      Warning signs: The dog is overheated and without sufficient air. The dog might be panting, vomiting, frothing at the mouth, or already collapsed.





      1. Remove the froth,


      2. Place or douse the dog with cold water to lower body temperature.


      3. Take the dog immediately to the veterinarian for treatment. Treatment usually consists of more cold water, drugs and observation.





      Emergency 4: Dog Poisoning



      Warning signs: Look for muscular twitching, vomiting, bleeding, convulsion or collapse.





      1. Have someone call the vet.


      2. Follow the vet's advice. Different poisoning cases sometimes have to be treated differently.




      4. If you know what the poison is, take some of it with you to the vet’s office.



      Emergency 5: Dog Choking



      1. Open the dog’s mouth carefully and try to see what is causing the problem. It could be anything: a small ball, bone, stick, meat wrapping.

      2. Pump the chest by pressing down on the ribs and releasing immediately at 5-second intervals.

      3. If this doesn’t dislodge the object within a few moments, rush the dog to the nearest animal hospital to have the foreign object removed under anesthetic.



        4. Dog Emergency 6: Drowning



        1. Remove the dog from the water.

        2. Try to get the water out of the dog's lungs as soon as possible by pumping the chest as for choking (see above).

        3. Take the dog to the vet to be checked out.




        Hopefully, you will never have to handle any of these emergencies. But if you do, you have the dog health advice that you need.

        Dog food is very important for the health of dogs. It is easy to overlook it, but it is essential to pick the right dog food for your pet dog. People sometimes just pick the first dog food bag they see at the store, instead of considering what is needed for your own dog. Puppies need different types of food than mature dogs, just as different breeds of dogs also require different types of dog food. If your dog seems like it has no energy, consider switching to another type of dog food. If you are unsure what kind to buy, you should consult your veterinarian.

        Dog Food should be healthy and tasty.

        If your dog does not like a certain type of dog food, do not force your dog to eat it. Instead, try to find another type of dog food that has all the vitamins that your dog needs, and your dog enjoys eating. Also, be aware that your dog's taste may change over time, and may not necessarily eat the same dog food all of its life. If it does not like its current dog food, then buy some other types of brands, and see which one is its favorite.
