Hi Friend,

A cheery Monday to you!

I was at a ski race this weekend watching my daughter race... she did awesome finishing on the podium twice ( 2 Silvers..)

During the race there was a fairly serious accident with one of the older racers catching an edge, going over head first, then cartwheeling through a gate to the finish.

My wife and I waited to see expecting First Aid attendants to kick in...but no one moved.

So we ran to her, stabilized her head, then eventually Ski Patrol showed up.

She was OK, but it could have been very serious- and no one else reacted because they didn't know WHAT to do.

NO training.

Much the same principal can be applied to your pets.

If you aren't practicing some of the basic principles I discuss, then you won't KNOW what to do.

No question the most complete way to learn this is with my Home Study Course.

It's complete, and you get ALL of it sent to your home, with my MANUAL.

It's not for everyone, but for those few of you serious about at home veterinary care, and willing to be more actively involved in your pets care.

It has wonderful reviews, and has made a HUGE difference for the hundreds of pet owners who have chosen to invest in it.

HBC.....Do This
----------------------------------------------------------


As a pet owner, one of my worst fears is having my dog or cat hit by a car. In the Vet world, we call this HBC.

SIGNS

You may see it, and then its obvious. Often though cats and dogs are HBC's ( Hit By Cars) and the only external signs are a few scrapes. They may be limping, or have difficulty breathing.

SOLUTIONS

CALL YOUR VET ASAP.

ASSESS BREATHING

I often see lung injuries from car accidents. Does your pet appear to be breathing normally, or is she labored, breathing with her mouth open. A common injury is pneumothorax, in which a part of the lung collapses, causing progressive respiratory distress. ( Mouth breathing, large, deep chest or stomach movements in an attempt to get air into the lungs). In this case you need IMMEDIATE veterinary care.

CHECK HEARTBEAT

The easiest way is to place your ear against the chest behind the left elbow. You can also feel for a pulse by placing your fingers in the groin ( inside the thigh of the back legs).


CPR


If your pet is non responsive, then go through the CPR steps.
1. Assess responsiveness
2. Establish a patent airway
3. Perform rescue breathing
4. Cardiac massage - establishing circulation



You will have to exert a lot of force with large dogs, but don't worry about breaking ribs for they will heal.

After every minute, stop and check for a pulse or breathing.

Continue heart massage compressions and the rescue breathing until you hear a heart beat and feel regular breathing. ONCE your pet is breathing and his heart is beating, CALL your veterinarian immediately!!!

GUM COLOR

This is a great measure of blood pressure, to determine if shock is present, and to evaluate for internal bleeding. The gums should be a healthy pink color. If they are pale, then your pet needs to be treated for shock and transported to a vet ASAP.

STOP BLEEDING

If there are obvious areas of bleeding, then stop them NOW. Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth or gauze. Hold this in place for at least 5 minutes. For more information on bleeding, see page..

COVER WOUNDS

Covering open wounds will keep them clean and help prevent infection. Bandage material is preferable, but a towel will work fine until you get to the vet.

SUPPORT A FRACTURE

If your pet is not using a leg, suspect a fracture. If the leg is dangling, and bent at an unusual angle, then you should attempt to immobilize it until you get veterinary care. Place a towel around the leg. Wrap the inside of the leg with material to partially splint the limb: newspaper, magazine or even bubble wrap. Cover this with tape to keep the newspaper next to the towel.

MOVE WITH CARE

Carefully transport your pet. A firm surface works best. If possible, put your pet on a wooden board. This is best done by first gently sliding him onto a sheet, then sliding the sheet onto the board. If you don't have any of this available, don't worry, the most important thing is rapid transport to your vet. Lift your pet by cradling him ( left arm around his chest and right arm around his rear).

Dr Andrew Jones, DVM
