First Aid

Before you go to the hospital or while you wait for a doctor visit is necessary to provide emergency assistance to the dog.

First aid is, above all, to as soon as possible to stop the flow of venom into the body, to delay its absorption into the bloodstream to neutralize and facilitate its rapid removal from the body by vomiting. Before that, you must ful dog a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

Induce vomiting in dogs is difficult, it may be advisable two ways:

1. Mechanical – finger deep into the oral cavity deep in the root of the tongue.

2. Either there is 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

The infusion simultaneously a large quantity of salt or soda aqueous solution (as is often advised) is not likely to lead to the emetic effect.

So, even if it was not possible to induce vomiting after the action indicated previously, give the dog a substance contributing to adsorb toxic substances: enterosgel or polisorb

.

Warning! After this procedure, do not induce vomiting.

If a dog has swallowed an object (the corpse of a bird, an animal, a package) can be given a liquid paraffin which has enveloping properties, it is not absorbed into the intestinal wall and facilitates the removal of the foreign body out.

After the above steps, you can make a cleansing enema. It is made of salted water (1 teaspoon per cup of water) at a temperature of 25-30 degrees. The volume depends on the size of the animal (from 100 ml to 1.5 liters). Small and medium-sized dogs, water is introduced with the help of syringes, for large dogs use douches mug.

In severe weakness, reducing the overall temperature of the dog should hide blanket to minimize heat loss.

If severe diarrhea, vomiting, rehydration of the body is necessary to unsolder animal rehydron 1-3 glasses of solution every hour for 2-3 hours. Give baksin – 10 mg per kg body weight.

If a toxic substance enters the surface of the dog's body, caused damage to the coat and affects the body by absorption through the skin, it is the easiest and surest way to first aid – flushing the poison usual cool water, preferably with soap and water.

If the skin were toxic substances that are readily soluble in fats, such as trichlorfon, and easily absorbed through intact skin, they should wash with cold water only, as warm water dramatically increases the absorption of the poison through the skin.

And do not forget! After first aid is an urgent need to take the animal to a veterinary clinic or doctor to call home.
