It is a fact of life – accidents happen. If an accident happens
to your Siberian Husky, care needs to taken to ensure that your
dog is treated properly until you can get him to the veterinarian.
That is why it is so important for all dog owners to have some
basic first aid procedures under their belts to ensure that all
dogs, including Siberian Huskies are well cared for in emergency
situations. In fact, you would be wise to keep a first aid procedure
manual and some basic supplies on hand to care for your Siberian
Husky. The hope is that you will never need to use the supplies,
but you will relax in knowing that they are there.
First Aid Supplies To Stock
First, it is a good idea to not only have a first aid kit at
home for your family, but one for the care of your Siberian Husky
as well. Your doggy first aid kit should include items such as
bandages and gauze pads, antibiotic ointment and hydrogen peroxide
for lacerations; a cold pack and rolls of cloth for broken bones;
and a thermometer, tweezers and cotton swabs for general first
aid care for your Siberian Husky. You can even buy ready-made
first aid kits for your pet from various companies to avoid having
to assemble the kit yourself. Don’t forget to throw in a first
aid manual to help you remember procedures to follow in case of
an emergency.
First Aid Procedures
Before beginning any type of first aid on an injured animal,
the first step should be to provide a muzzle to protect you from
a possible animal bite. Even if you are caring for your Siberian
Husky that you raised from a pup, a dog that is hurt or frightened
may snap in an extreme situation. You can easily create a muzzle
from a strip of cloth tied gently but firmly around your dog’s
nose. Once you have muzzled your Siberian Husky, you can begin
to care for your pet.
First aid treatment tends to revolve around a few categories
of injuries. One is a laceration or other injury that is causing
significant bleeding. To care for your Siberian Husky when he
is bleeding, place a gauze pad directly over the wound and apply
pressure to the area until the bleeding stops. If bleeding is
severe, you may need to tie a tourniquet on your dog between the
wound and your dog’s heart. Keep in mind while caring for a Siberian
Husky that is bleeding that tourniquets should only be used in
life and death situations, since use of them can be dangerous
to your dog.
Another situation that might require emergency care for your
Siberian Husky is a possible fracture. The main concern with this
type of injury is to immobilize the limb to avoid causing further
injury. To care for a Siberian Husky with a possible fracture,
use a magazine or towel and two sticks to immobilize the limb
before transporting your dog to the veterinarian’s office.
If your dog becomes sick or injured, you want to be prepared
to offer the best care to your Siberian Husky until you can get
your pet into the veterinarian’s office or animal hospital for
treatment. By stocking your home with the appropriate supplies
and taking the time to learn some basic first aid treatment, you
will be able to effectively care for your Siberian Husky in an
emergency. Another concern for you will be caring
for your Siberian Husky as he ages.
