Medical Tips For Saving A Dog

Just to stir the pot. My best first aid save a dogs life advice is scrap the bulldog, get some good dogs that bay the right way, a lever action rifle. And go hunt hahahaha
. Serious note most of it is common sense man. Bleeding and leaking are different things. Bleeding ain’t gonna kill a dog, leaking will. You gotta get arterial cuts cauterized.
Sucking chest wounds you can hear. The night that ultimately killed my kate dog she got gutted. And that big long toothed hog managed to break her back 2 ribs, gut her, and puncture her diaphragm from the back side. My vet initially said no, her chest was good, I was pretty sure other wise. Next morning he had to open her back up because her lungs were collapsing.
A cut that makes it all the way through the abdominal wall is usually very apparent, they’re belly will looked sucked in on one side and bulging on the other, even if no guts are out/visible, this for me = auto vet visit.

Caffiene/sugar i.e. Dr Pepper, raw honey. Are wonders in regards to keeping a dog out of shock. Vitamin K will also help with bleeding.
I think most run of the mill cuts are better left alone. I know guys that sew everything. I’m more of a blue kote it and give em 2 weeks.

Bigger cuts, ones maybe that you closed and dog chewed back open and it’s too late to close back up now. Running Water hose for 10 minutes 2x a day will do more than you would likely believe by me just telling you.
