The more I see of humans, The more I love Dogs
TREATMENT FOR BURNS AND SCALD : SUGGESTIONS
a) When handling or treating a dog that has burnt, be careful. Burns are very painful and animals in pain resent being handled. A good tape muzzle or a competent assistant is essential.
b) In serious cases, where the dog has been badly burned, treat first for shock. Keep the dog warm and give it a mixture of glucose and water.
c) Relieve the pain by administering analgesics.
d) Then clean the area around the burn with a dilute solution of Cetavion (available in drug store) to remove any damaged tissues.
e) Apply tannic acid jelly or Burnol or a solution of cooled strong tea to the burnt area.
f) Bandage the area to prevent further fluid loss. It is this loss of fluid that creates serious problems in burn cases.
g) In very serious cases, wrap the dog in a blanket and get it to a vet surgeon.
TREATMENT FOR CHEMICAL BURNS : SUGGESTIONS
a) Use soap and water to wash the chemical off the dog's hair and skin.
b) For acid burns, apply dilute bicarbonate of soda to the burnt area. For alkali burns apply vinegar and water.,
c) Apply cortisone cream or cetavion on the burn.
