Trauma refers to various surgical injuries caused by accidents, such as fractures and bites. When pets chase at high speeds, they may encounter unexpected collisions, resulting in contusions or puncture wounds. After head trauma, pets may experience temporary or partial loss of consciousness, often accompanied by pale complexion and other symptoms.
Cause Investigation
- Minor trauma
- Lacerations/penetrating wounds
- Fractures or dislocations
Solutions
- Minor trauma: Clean the wound with clean water first. After cleaning, disinfect the wound with povidone-iodine. Once the povidone-iodine evaporates, apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to the wound.
- If the wound has slight bleeding, press it with a clean cotton cloth to stop the bleeding. If the wound bleeds heavily, it is recommended to take the dog to the hospital for hemostatic drugs and a comprehensive wound examination.
- In case of fracture, take the dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment time.
Prevention Measures
Always put a leash on your pet when going out.
Special Reminder
Try to prevent the pet from exercising in the early stage of recovery. You can give it anti-inflammatory, analgesic, bone-healing and nutritional drugs. In the later stage, arrange appropriate exercise to help restore motor function.
