Emergency First Aid for Your Dog

$14.95

This is not simply a book on dog care; it is a life-saving step-by-step guide for emergencies. It tells you what to do in virtually any emergency situation and includes instructions on dog CPR, bleeding control, and treatment for bite wounds, seizures, poisonings, choking, being hit by a car, shock and much more. It details specific treatments for poisoning from 143 different types of plants (and yes, different plant poisons do require different treatments) as well as a wide variety of household and other poisons. It cross-references symptoms with problems and conditions to enable appropriate treatment in virtually any situation. It even includes prevention techniques to reduce the likelihood of a crisis. Find out what to include in a dog first-aid kit (pp. 18-12). Learn how to prevent life-threatening shock (pp. 124-126), and learn what never to do if your dog swallows string (p. 77).
