When a pet dog suddenly goes into shock, how should the owner save it? So many pet owners may not be so familiar with pet shock, and they never think about what to do if their lively and jumping pet suddenly goes into shock one day. To save its life, today we will popularize the knowledge of dog first aid.
When a pet dog suddenly goes into shock, what should the owner do to save it?
The first step is when the dog is in shock, we should first check the dog's breathing. If there is no breathing, then check whether there is any foreign body in its mouth, and then feel for the pulse. The pulse of the pet dog is on the hind legs. At the inner root, you can also feel the pulse if you touch the dog's paw. If the pet dog has a pulse but is not breathing, artificial respiration is needed. If there is no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is required!
The second step is that before we give first aid to the dog, we need to adjust the dog’s posture to allow them to open their airway.
The third step is to find the location of the pet dog's heart. For large dogs, the heart is at the widest point of the arms, and for small dogs, the heart is two fingers down on the arm.
The fourth step is to perform compressions. The compression method is the same as that of humans. The compression must be completed 15 times within 10 seconds.
The fifth step is to perform artificial respiration after performing a compression. We first cover the dog's mouth with our hands, and then blow into the dog's nostrils with our mouth. This operation will make the dog's chest cavity larger and rise.
The sixth step is only for large dogs. Large dogs can also press the abdomen. The method is similar to pressing the chest.
The seventh step is to repeat the above steps until the dog's pulse recovers and the dog begins to breathe. However, if this process exceeds 20 minutes, do not provide first aid.
The above is the editor’s summary of how the owner should rescue a pet dog that suddenly went into shock. I hope it can help all my friends.
