Choose a suitable dog walking situation
Or Most owners don't pay much attention to their dogs' feet, because apart from the trimming of sole hair and nails, there aren't many issues we need to pay attention to. Under normal circumstances, dogs' feet rarely have problems, but the feet are the place where they are in contact with the earth the longest and longest, so we should pay more attention to them appropriately. After all, after a dog's foot is injured, it has a certain effect on their behavior, and even affects the dog's health.
1. Use suitable dog walking situations
Dog The dog's own foot pads are actually very thick, so they can play a very good protective role on the feet, and only in this way can they run quickly. So under normal circumstances, we can rest assured that the common gravel roads will not harm the dog’s feet, and they also have a certain effect on the wear and tear of the dog’s nails. However, many roads are not as safe as we imagine. After all, we cannot guarantee that nails, broken glass and other things that are harmful to dogs will not appear on the road, so we should also take these issues into consideration when choosing a walking place for dogs.
So when we usually take our dogs for walks, it is best to choose places that we are familiar with. Community gardens and small squares are all good choices. The road is a relatively dangerous place. Not only are there many unknown objects, but once the dog is frightened and we lose control, the dog may be hit by a car.
Two, minor injuries can be dealt with immediately
No matter how worried we usually are, it is difficult to protect dogs from being injured due to some accidents. Dogs are active and lively, and it is inevitable that they will step on dangerous things. If the dog is indeed injured, the first thing to do is not to panic, but to examine the dog's injury. Sometimes we will find a dog running happily with blood on its paws, but we don’t know it. The strong excitement makes the dog forget the pain of the wound on its foot. If the wound is not big, just a slight scratch, the dogThe dog himself feels fine, and generally does not need too much treatment. We can use physiological saline to clean the wound of the dog, and then perform simple disinfection methods.
If the injury is only minor, it is appropriate to clean the wound
3. The dog’s legs do not dare to touch the ground and need to pay more attention
If you find that the dog If you curl up one foot and dare not touch the ground, and only use the other three legs to support yourself, then the dog's curled up foot must be injured, because landing on the leg will cause pain to them, so they dare not touch the ground. However, the injured location is not necessarily on the sole of the foot. At this time, as a parent, you cannot be casual. The most important thing is to understand the dog’s injury.
When some owners see their dogs being injured, they hurriedly grab the injured feet to take a closer look. Of course, this kind of heartache for their dogs is understandable. , but this reckless approach is not feasible. The foreign object that pricked the dog may still be in the wound. If the dog's wound is not touched carefully, some dogs will be unable to help but bite, and the parents will be injured. The correct way to deal with it is to call the dog over, have another parent comfort the dog and control the dog's head so that it cannot bite, and another person will inspect the wound on the foot. If there are no wounds on the surface, then the bones are probably injured, and it is best to go directly to the hospital to take a movie. If there is a wound, do some simple treatment on the wound first, and then check whether there is any foreign matter in the wound. If the foreign body is obvious, you may wish to use tweezers to carefully pinch it out, and then wrap the wound with gauze. Then check the dog's condition. If this is still the case, then you still have to send him to the hospital for examination.
