What to do in an Emergency
The most important thing to do after an injury is to remain calm and contact your veterinarian. After contacting your veterinarian, you can help by taking these three steps:
- Flush out the wound with warm water to keep it as clean as possible
- Put a safety muzzle or an Elizabethan cone on your dog to keep him or her from biting at the wound
- Apply an antibacterial ointment and bandages until you get to your veterinarian
By taking a few simple actions, you can keep your dog’s injury from getting worse until you get medical care.
