Fixation method for dog fractures:

1. First rinse the wound thoroughly with water. Do not use any other disinfectant to avoid affecting the future treatment process.

2. Prepare wooden boards or bamboo pieces, about 2 cm wide, about 3 to 4 pieces, stick them to the fractured part of the dog’s front leg, and then wrap it with gauze.

3. Do not try to use a splint to clamp the fracture. Improper operation by inexperienced people may easily infect the fracture wound.

4. After the fracture is temporarily bandaged and fixed, send it to a veterinary clinic for treatment immediately.

Precautions after a dog breaks a bone:

1. When a dog breaks a bone, strict attention must be paid and the dog cannot be allowed to exercise strenuously.

2. Infection must also be prevented after the dog has a fracture. Antibiotics must be used according to the doctor's instructions to prevent and control infection. Do not let the dog come into contact with water or other pollutants.

3. The dog should pay attention to rest after a fracture. At this time, the dog's body is in the recovery period and needs to get enough sleep.

4. After the dog fractures, the body is in a weak state. At this time, the intake of dietary nutrients should be strengthened.
