First, there are two fixing methods for dog fractures, one is the fixing method for open fractures, and the other is the fixing method for closed fractures. These two suitable conditions are also different. Pet owners can refer to the hospital's opinions for specific purposes.
The first type: method for fixing open fractures in dogs
1. First, thoroughly rinse the wound with clean water, and do not use any other disinfectants to avoid affecting the future treatment process.
2. Cover the wound on the broken dog with a clean cloth, or sterile dressing or sanitary tampon.
3. Cover the dressing with tear-open rags or other soft materials, tie them tightly or stick them with tape. The force should be fixed just in place and the force should not be too large.
3. Do not try to use splints to clip the fracture. Inexperienced persons may easily infect the fracture wound if they are not properly operated. Then use a large folded towel to hold the dog's broken limbs from underneath, and then immediately send the dog to the veterinarian.
Second type: Method for fixing closed fractures in dogs
1. In the absence of a veterinarian, it is difficult to try to clamp the broken limbs of a dog with a splint (the force should be moderate). The goal of treating any fracture is to minimize the activity of the broken bone.
2. Place the dog in a carryr or box and send it to the veterinary immediately. The boxes you are transported have good stability and are strong and solid. It is best to choose a pet hospital nearby to reduce fluctuations in dogs during transportation.
No matter which fixation method is chosen, postoperative consolidation is very important. Giving dogs with bone Lijian beef ingots can promote bone healing and shorten the dog's recovery time.
