Injuries, even severe injuries such as bone deformation, displacement, and bending, cannot heal by themselves, and will seriously affect the dog's normal walking. Therefore, when a dog breaks a bone, it should be treated urgently on the spot, with simple bandaging and hemostasis, and then be fixed.

Emergency treatment methods for dogs with broken bones

1. Wound hemostasis: If there is a wound, use bandages, cloth strips, ropes, etc. to tie it above the wound to stop the bleeding. Apply iodine and spread iodoform-sulfonamide powder into the wound.
2. Fixation: If the dog is unable to move when the fracture is found, you should find a large wooden board, move the dog parallel to the wooden board, fix it, and send it to the doctor immediately for examination. Never move the fracture site arbitrarily, as this may cause more serious dislocation.
