First aid measures for dogs after drowning

Dog drowning
Dogs that enter the water for the first time may drown due to tension

In We can see that a genius dog is a master of swimming. Almost most genius dogs have the skill of swimming. However, for those dogs who do not often interact with water, going into the water for the first time may cause them to feel nervous. Some dogs will be a little at a loss after getting into the water, because nervous dogs may drown because of this. Almost even if the dog can swim, dogs who have never swum will also have the problem of drowning. If a dog is found drowning, he should be rescued immediately to prevent the dog from having any accidents.

First of all, we turn the dog's head and body upside down in order to control part of the choked water, and then remove the water from the dog's mouth and nasal cavity. and dirt such as sediment, open the dog's mouth and keep it open, and then check to see if there is spontaneous breathing. If there is no spontaneous breathing, lay the dog's body flat, but keep the head and neck in a low position. . Next, we will perform artificial respiration for the dog. Let’s explain the method of artificial respiration.

Artificial respiration can be divided into two methods, namely the compression method and the blowing method:

1. Compression method:Resume breathing by compressing the lungs

First of all, we check whether the dog’s respiratory tract is in the If there is liquid or foreign matter, open the dog's mouth first and then pull out the tongue. Then put your hands on the ribs of the chest and press down to squeeze the air out of the lungs. Quickly release your hands so that the chest bounces back to its original position, the lungs stretch, and the air is inhaled. If there is foreign matter in the dog's respiratory tract, the dog may Vomiting foreign objects or liquids due to being forced. Then repeat the above action, once every 5 seconds.

2. Blowing method: The blowing method used by us people is usually mouth to mouth blowing, but it is for dogs. It’s impossible for us to use this method with such a big mouth, so we usually blow into the dog’s nose.

How to save a dog from drowning
To blow up a dog, you need to blow air into the nose

First of all, you have to clean up the saliva, blood, vomit or vomit in the dog's mouth and nose. Remove the foreign objects, then put the dog's tongue back into the mouth, and press the dog's mouth tightly with your hands. Be careful not to let the dog's teeth bite their tongue. Next, lift the dog's head appropriately. This is to ensure that the dog's breathing can be smooth. Then the owner blows air into the dog's nostrils with his mouth. Because the dog's mouth has a wide opening, it is easy to push the dog Keep your mouth tight before blowing, otherwise air will leak easily. After blowing repeatedly, you should stop and observe the dog's reaction. Only when the dog gradually resumes breathing can you stop blowing, and then send it to the hospital immediately for treatment.

Artificial respiration is a necessary measure during rescue. If the situation is not serious, it is not necessary. For small dogs, you can hold the dog's head and move it down to control the water. If it is a large dog, lift the dog's hind limbs and shake it into a low-front-high posture. At the same time, gently pat the dog's back with your hands to help it spit out water. . If conditions permit, diuretics, injections to relieve pulmonary edema, and immediate oxygen inhalation will be given as soon as possible. Naturally, this treatment generally must be carried out in the hospital.

Rescue methods for dogs after drowning
Warm up and relax before entering the water to prevent cramps

In addition, for dogs whose heart has stopped beating, chest cardiac resuscitation should be performed first. If the dog is driven to the hospital by car, it can be revived in the car and sent to the hospital for treatment by professionals. Therefore, even though most dogs are talented at swimming, more attention should be paid to dogs that enter the water for the first time. There must be an owner watching over them and letting the dog get used to it for a period of time. This is because dogs entering the water for the first time must Dogs will inevitably feel a little nervous. When the dog's nervousness is relieved, we can let the dog swim freely for a period of time. It should also be noted that dogs are similar to humans and must do certain warm-up exercises before going into the water to avoid cramps.
