The bones of a pet dog are very fragile, and it may be broken if you kick it lightly. There are some precautions that friends need to know when a dog has a broken bone.
When a dog breaks a bone, its bones may be displaced, and the fractured limb may be shortened, bent, or elongated in abnormal postures. Fractured pet dogs cannot move normally, and the fractured legs cannot bear weight, bend and straighten well. In addition, when you listen carefully, you may also hear a rubbing sound on the broken end of the bone. Note that once the dog is broken, it must be treated in time, otherwise the damage to the dog will be lifelong.
Treating a dog’s fracture is not easy. When a dog’s fracture is found, emergency treatment can be carried out on the spot, and then the dog must be sent to the veterinary hospital in time. In the process of emergency treatment, the dog should be ligated with bandages, cloth strips, ropes, etc. above the wound to stop the bleeding, apply iodine to the affected area, and remove iodoform sulfanilamide powder from the wound. The second is to temporarily bandage and fix the fracture and immediately send it to a veterinary clinic for treatment.
If the dog’s fracture is serious and the injured dog can no longer move, then parents should not rush to move it. It is best to find a large wooden board first, and then move the dog to the wooden board in parallel. After fixing (let the dog not move around), the pet dog must be sent to the doctor for treatment in time, remember not to delay time.
Pay attention to calcium supplementation during the recovery period of a dog’s fracture. You can use the calcium tablets that humans eat for dogs, or you can buy calcium powder for dogs. But don’t take too much calcium, you can consult your veterinarian about the amount of calcium supplements.
