Running under tap water for twenty minutes can be effective for the wounded region and after that you can put an ice pack under the wrap of towel to the wound. Call in the vet as soon as possible.
When diarrhea occurs, the puppy will be in a distress state so you have to stop feeding for twelve to twenty four hours. To avoid dehydration, water is to be fed regularly. If diarrhea prolongs, seek the vet advice.
Another frightening occurrence is your puppy having a heatstroke and the signs are vomiting, breathing rapidly or short of breath as well as high body temperature and weakness. The right procedure to carry out is to wrap the puppy in cool wet towel but call the vet immediately when the temperature rises to 103 degrees.
You have to check in to a vet when there are broken limbs. Ensure that there is no bleeding and also look out that the puppy is not in a state of shock. For the fractured limbs, use a piece of wood and dont attempt to set it but gently send the puppy to the vet.
When your puppy is bitten by other animal, use saline to clean the wound and then use gauze to wrap it. Gloves are compulsory when you are washing the wound so as to steer clear of any infection.
With an emergency first aid kit and all the right actions that you need to take in the event that your puppy is badly affected by the different types of injury, it will cut down the amount of panic and indecisiveness.
