Generally, the dog is first laid on its side, with the dislocated limb on top, and methods such as pulling, pressing, internal rotation, abduction, and stretching are used to restore the joint. If the reset is correct, you can feel it and hear a sound. External fixation was performed immediately after reconstruction. Usually choose splint bandage, plastic bandage, external fixator, etc.

Severe cases definitely require surgery. Different locations of joint dislocation require different surgical paths. By traction and rotation of the affected limb, stretching and pressing the joint, the joint is restored. Different methods of internal fixation are selected according to the nature of the dislocation.
