As a friend and protector of human beings, dogs cannot avoid being injured. What should we do when our dog accidentally breaks its bones? First of all, we need to be clear that most dog fractures require professional treatment, because wrong treatment often affects the repair of wounds and the recovery of dogs, so it is best not to deal with them yourself.
Send the dog to a veterinary clinic or veterinary hospital immediately and let a professional veterinarian to diagnose and treat.
During the delivery to the clinic, we need to handle the dog carefully to minimize pain and discomfort.
If the wound is exposed, please do not try to stuff the bones back as this can easily cause bacterial infection and further damage.
If the wound is likely to eat, cover the dog with a clean gauze or towel and gently secure it with tape to prevent further damage.
After the dog arrives at the veterinary, the veterinarian develops a treatment plan based on the type, location and severity of the fracture.
Generally speaking, treatment options include drug therapy and external support, such as fixation and cast bandage, and surgery.
If the bone is not broken, just twisted or broken, a bracket is usually used for fixation and support.
For more severe fractures, such as open fractures, surgery is often required to reconstruct the bone structure.
During treatment, we need to make sure that the dog is given sufficient rest and can be left in a cage or small room to avoid excessive movement to prevent bones from moving or further injury.
In addition, we need to make sure that the dog is well supported in terms of diet and the veterinarian may recommend that we feed high-protein foods or add nutritional supplements.
Essentially, we need to take the dog to the veterinarian regularly for review and treatment of the wound to ensure that the wound heals normally without infection or other complications.
During recovery, we need to be patient, caring for and caring for our dogs and following the advice of the veterinarian.
In short, the management of dog fractures requires professional medical support and our patience, care and care.
When our dog is injured, remember not to panic and send it to the veterinary office immediately and have a professional doctor handle it and treat it to get our pets back as soon as possible and back to us.
