It is good to know what to do in those moments.
Home is usually the quietest place of all. But even with the care of their masters, pets are exposed to accidents.
Cats, in the midst of their curiosity, tend to climb here and there.
Sometimes they do not know how to get down and they rush spectacularly, receiving a blow. Also, snooping under the table or in the kitchen, they get to receive electric shocks when biting cables and connections of various devices. The same can happen with dogs, although they are less elusive than kittens and there are spaces to which they do not have access.
In the kitchen they can get burned, unintentionally. To avoid this, it is preferable that while humans are preparing food, pets are not there. In the blink of an eye they cross the road and an accident occurs.
Domestic cases
Dogs and cats are no strangers to fractures.
These can occur in moments of play, when jumping a wall, running down the stairs. This type of injury can be intuited by observing that the animal limps, complains when walking or simply when it does not support its body on its extremities as it normally does.
Canines are particularly sensitive to the sun. They can suffer heatstroke in a short time when they are left for a long time in open places without space to shelter from the sun or when they remain in the car for a long time, waiting for their master. If this happens, specialists recommend refreshing the animal's skin with cold water and then giving it the vital liquid to drink. She will soon be recovered.
Poisonings or poisonings are also common. Both types of pet may eat some detergent, flammable products, chlorine, paint, among others.
First of all, these products must be stored in a place that is not accessible to pets. Second, if they have already ingested them, you should immediately call the vet and give him the description of the poison and take it immediately to the office.
In case of a superficial wound, with little blood loss, you must remove the hair around the wound. Then it should be cleaned with antiseptic and go to the vet as soon as possible.
When you suffer a burn with flames or hot oil, cool the area with cold water or through compresses and call the vet.
If the pet is immobile, as if unconscious, but has a pulse, it is recommended to stretch the tongue out, check the heart rate (ask the vet for guidance to know how to do it), palpate the limbs to rule out fractures, and see a doctor.
When he's unbalanced, weak, cold, and breathing fast, keep him quiet, wrap him in a blanket or blanket to keep him warm, and take him to the vet.
Your vet is the right person to instruct you on how to give your pet artificial respiration and how to perform a heart massage.
Both pets and we are living beings, which can suffer any type of accident. Good article.
