Dog First Aid Care

8

    Hypothermia

    • When a dog’s temperature gets below 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit, he has hypothermia. If your dog has hypothermia, move him to a warmer environment and bundling the dog in blankets warmed by the dryer or hot water bottles.

    Hyperthermia

    • Hyperthermia is when a dog’s temperature is above 105.0 degrees Fahrenheit. If hyperthermia occurs, move the dog to a cooler place and offer the dog cold water, but do not force it or pour the water or ice onto the dog.

    Poisoning

    • If you suspect poisoning in your dog, get in touch with a poison control center or a veterinarian immediately. If you cannot get a hold of either, consider inducing vomiting, unless the dog is unresponsive, having trouble breathing, seizing or if the poison ingested was a petroleum product, cleaning solution, or strong acid or alkali. Save a sample of the vomit and do not give liquid to your pet.

    Choking

    • If the dog is unconscious, perform a finder sweep and begin rescue breathing. Perform a finger sweep only if you are comfortable with doing so and know the dog will not bite you.

    Dehydration

    • If the dog has an excessive loss of water from his body, he may suffer from dehydration. Give frequent, small amounts of water--about 1 tbs. to ¼ cup--if he's not vomiting. If he's in pain, lethargic, vomiting or has not eaten for 24 hours, seek help immediately.
