How to make a dam in a dog?

Today we will talk about animal care. For many, this is not just pets, but the real family members, which means they require caress, care and care, like any person. Dogs, like people. Sometimes they are sick, unfortunately, therefore, every loving owner should know how to help his pet in this case - what medications need to be taken and how to make an injection, if necessary.

What is the injection of the dog?

I would like to start with the fact that the four-legged brothers our smaller are very similar to us, both behavior, and anatomically, but there are some differences, for example, dogs to prick the medicine either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. It is worth noting immediately noting that there is no difference between the concept of injection and injection, as well as a milliliter and a cube, so if in the veterinarian's recipe you will see one of the concepts mentioned earlier, do not worry, nothing terrible in these words is absolutely no.

An animal injection is the method of administering the drug of drugs in its body by piercing the tissues in a certain place and the introduction of directly drugs in them. It is important to remember that in this process there are some limitations, both quantitative and qualitative, not only the health of the pet depends on this, but sometimes his life. This may be associated with an allergic reaction, so that the medicine is categorically not suitable for an animal or too much dose was introduced.

In general, in any case, before deciding to the injection of an animal, you need to learn certain information that will help you successfully cope with the task and the animal will not be in danger.

Of course, you can call the veterinarian house or go to a private clinic for animals, but there is another option that has a number of advantages - this is an independent introduction of the medicine with an animal without help. Pros of this method:

economically beneficial (no need to pay veterinarian services)
quickly (no need to transport an animal, spend a bunch of time to search for a good veterinarian, etc.)
the probability of the life of the life of the animal increases at times
the opportunity to earn your ability to make injections to animals (if necessary to help outsiders and their pets)

Rules of injection dog

Some nuances that a person should know when is going to do a dog injection:

The main rule when introducing a dog's medication is sterility. Without this, the likelihood of various kinds of problems after the injection is really great, so you need to keep in mind this factor. The dog is so, by itself, not very sterile creature, taking into account the coating of the whole body, but if the other rules of sterility still do not come out of this.

The choice of place also plays an important role. The fact is that if the dog is not a person, it does not mean at all that she can make injections anywhere. If you are not sure about choosing a place to choose a place for help to a specialist who will tell you where it is better to do a pet, so that the medicine will work promptly and at the same time, did not harm the dog.
The dose is mandatory must be selected accurate, no assumptions and its calculations, everything is clearly and accurate here. If the doctor wrote in the recipe "V / M" designation, it decryls, as intramuscularly, if the "p / k" - the injection should be introduced under the skin (most often this place is the withers).
The syringe for entering the drug the animal should also be selected correctly. You need to know that not every syringe is suitable for this case. The main rule so that the syringe is disposable and sterile.

Selection of syringe

Choose a syringe correctly:

If the injection is appointed intramuscularly, choose a syringe on the basis of the patient's "dimensions", because it can be that terrier or bull terrier, and the difference in their size is clearly tangible. For Peskov, whose weight does not exceed 10 kilograms, the so-called mini dogs, it is possible to use an insulin syringe (the only correction, this is a prescribed amount of medication, because no more than 1 ml of the drug is placed in insulin syringe). The fact is that the diameter of such needles is considered the most acceptable for small dogs.
For dogs more larger, you can use syringes with a volume of 2 ml and more, in this case it all depends on the amount of medication that you need to enter a pet.
In order to reduce the level of traumatic in the checker, you can make the following trick, to put on a syringe on a certain volume to put on the needle from a smaller syringe, that is, if it is necessary to introduce 5 cubes of the drug, on a syringe of 5 cubes you can wear a needle from two cubic syringe.
If the prescribed drug needs to be administered intramuscularly, insulin needles do not suit, because they will not be able to reach the right place (in this case, the muscles), which is largely deep enough. If the medicine that needs to be administered inside the muscles is simply running under the skin, it will lead to a strongest allergic reaction, and also, possibly, to the leaning of tissues.
When choosing a syringe, it is also worth considering the viscosity of the administered drug, because too "thick", the oils require the introduction of them through the syringes is thickening.

If the introduction of the medication is assigned to a subcutaneous way, you can choose any syringes and needles, taking into account the amount of medication and a mass of the dog.

Phased instruction

Remember that from an open ampoule, it is impossible to repeat the medication, one ampoule is one use. I wipe the syringe with alcohol, the needle, the place of the injection and until the introduction itself is not touching all the hundred -selftned. So, we make an injection:

Chose the medicine, read the instructions and how to enter
Chose a syringe and needle to it
Read the name of the drug once again and compared with you need, they must coincide
Read the instructions (and, perhaps, stolen a bottle or an ampoule if necessary)
Scored the desired amount of medicinal preparation
Disinfected the syringe and the place of the injection
We introduce the drug designated by slowly (especially if it is an oily medicine)

Nothing difficult in the introduction of a dog's medicine through a syringe, in principle, no, but there are a number of rules and recommendations with which a person who produces this injection is obligatory to familiarize themselves.

What can not be done?

There is a list in which it is indicated what to do is categorically impossible:

confused ampoules with medicines and prick, without looking pre-at the name of the drug
shove out an ampule with bare hands
prick medicine in case there are air in the syringe
introduce the medicine subcutaneously if necessary intramuscularly
enter the medicine does not scrap the area
enter the drug into an unhealthy skin
mix drugs without specialist
enter the drug in the tense muscle
touch needles with hands and leave her for a long time open before
ride too cold medicine
enter too deeply needle
make a dam too fast

Now you know how to make a dam in a dog that it is necessary to know for this, and what to do is categorically impossible. After reading this information, now you can easily make an injection with an animal, while curing it, without making him hurt.
