What to do if your dog’s foot pads are injured

What to do if your dog
Border Collie (definite introduction) < /p>

The vast majority of dogs do not wear shoes. For dogs who often go out to play, because the dog’s feet are directly touching the ground, injuries are everywhere. It is inevitable that the foot pads will be stabbed by sharp glass fragments or nails and other sharp objects from the outside.
1. Sometimes the dog is running happily, but there is blood on its paws, but he is unaware of it. The intense excitement makes the dog forget the pain of the wound on his foot. If the wound is not big, just a slight scratch, and the dog feels fine, it generally does not require too much treatment. Parents can use clean alcohol cotton to wipe away the blood marks and soil around the wound, and the dog will be as good as before soon. .
2. If the dog is inadvertently cut with a sharp object and causes a large amount of bleeding, parents should take the dog home and press the bleeding wound with cotton for about a minute. If the bleeding situation does not improve after pressing for one minute, use a bandage to cover about five centimeters above the bleeding site to prevent some blood from flowing into the wound site. However, this method cannot be maintained for too long, because it will cause insufficient blood supply to the areas below the wound and cause tissue necrosis.
If the area below the wound is found to be purple-blue or has become too swollen, it means that the bandage has been bandaged for too long, and you should immediately remove the bandaged area. If the dog bleeds a lot, the wound should be wrapped with cotton and tied tightly with a bandage. Note that elastic ropes or other structural materials cannot be used to bandage. After the wound is treated, it should be Try to take him to see a doctor.
3. If you find that the dog curls up one foot and does not dare to touch the ground, and only uses the other three legs to support the body, then the dog’s curled up foot must be injured. At this time, parents cannot be casual. The most important thing is to understand the dog’s injury.
If you see a dog’s foot being injured, don’t rush over to check on the dog’s injury. Because the foreign object that pricked the dog may still be in the wound, if you accidentally touch the dog's wound, some dogs will be unable to help but bite, and the parents will be injured. You need to call the dog to your side, comfort the dog's mood, and check the condition of the foot wound. Do some simple things within your ability.
At the end, I would like to remind all parents that if the situation is very bad, you can avoid taking your dog to play. Dogs who are used to wearing shoes may as well go out.Wear shoes at all times to avoid accidents. Secondly, when you encounter an injury on the dog's foot pad and you are unable to treat the dog's wound within your ability, you should immediately send it to a pet hospital for rescue.
