Self-Veterinarian. How to Provide First Aid to a Dog and Not Miss Symptoms of Illness

When something happens to a dog, most owners feel lost and do not understand how to behave. What to do if the dog ate something inedible on a walk? Why is the dog coughing, or constantly scratching, urinating often and... excessively, or, on the contrary, not drinking or marking every post? How to properly clean a dog's ears, measure temperature, palpate the pulse, or put drops in the eyes? What does preliminary and emergency assistance include? You will find clear answers to these and other relevant questions from practicing veterinarian Marina Rudenko. The author discusses basic information on providing first aid to dogs not in theory, but through practical examples. In this book, you will find: - features of dog physiology; - signs of common diseases based on symptoms and treatment methods; - contents of the first aid kit and a step-by-step instruction for resuscitation; - methods of assistance for cuts, tick and snake bites, heatstroke, choking, frostbite, etc.; The book is divided into convenient chapters dedicated to specific types of diseases: skin, digestive, reproductive, and others. You will also find QR codes in the sections that allow you to watch instructional videos. Just point your phone at the QR code — and watch how to perform various manipulations.
