8 Quick Tips for Treating Minor

Pet Injuries and Illnesses

 

Just like two-legged members of the family, sometimes pets have little accidents around the house, yard, or neighborhood. When a dog or cat acquires a minor injury, many pet owners don't realize there may be a quick fix as close as the kitchen or bathroom cabinet.

  1. Problem: Nail injury. Dogs and cats can slice up their nails in a variety of ways - everything from a too-close nail trim that nicks the quick, to running outdoors over sharp rocks.     Solution: Styptic powder. If you don't have styptic powder on hand, for minor bleeding grab either cornstarch or flour from your kitchen, pour some into a small bowl, and dip the injured paw into the powder to stop the bleeding.
  2. Problem: Bee sting. Most bee stings occur on a paw or the face. Not only are bee stings painful, but your pet could also have an allergic reaction.    Solution: Credit card and quercetin. If you need to remove the bee's stinger, don't use tweezers. Use a credit card from your wallet to scrape away the stinger - just make sure the venom sac comes out with it. If your pet has a mild allergic reaction to a bee sting, offer quercetin (I call it "nature's Benadryl) if you have it, or real Benadryl if you don't. Serious allergic reactions require an immediate visit to your veterinarian or the closest emergency veterinary clinic.
  3.   Problem: Indiscriminate eating. If your pet has very recently ingested something she shouldn't, for example, chocolate, antifreeze or another toxin, you may need to induce vomiting. Always call your vet or an animal poison control hotline if you suspect your pet has swallowed a poison.   Solution: Hydrogen peroxide. I'm talking about 3% hydrogen peroxide - the kind you purchase at any pharmacy. The dose is one teaspoon for every 10 pounds of body weight. Hydrogen peroxide typically induces vomiting within 15 minutes. If your pet doesn't vomit within that time, you can give her a second dose, but if another 15 minutes passes and she still hasn't vomited, it's time to call your veterinarian.  (Easiest method for administering is to use a syringe and slowly press into the side of the mouth.)         Read more

Max's helpful hint:
    
When getting ready to go on a walk, call me to you; do not walk to me to put my leash/collar on. (If I was still a puppy, make sure that I get familiar with the leash before you start using it to take me on a walk.  Let me drag it around the house). Once I approach you, make sure I sit quietly before putting on my leash or collar. Make sure you leave the door first and return through the  door first. Remember, the Leader always leads!
