Newfoundland dog (certain introduction)
Some owners often take their dogs out to play together, naturally There are no shortage of places to play in mountain villages with beautiful scenery. There are often snakes in the mountains, and dogs are quite curious, so they are likely to be bitten by snakes. If it's just an ordinary snake, that's fine. However, if you encounter a venomous snake, you have to take corresponding measures. So how to save a dog from snake venom?
1. Prevent the dispersion of venom. Tie the upper part of the wound with a cloth bandage, rope, etc. Be careful not to loosen the hemostatic bandage, but it can only be used for 2 hours, otherwise it will cause ischemic necrosis distal to the tied area. You can also loosen it for 1-2 minutes every 15-20 minutes.
2. The venom should be eliminated. It can be completely cleaned with clean water or ammonia, or it can be cleaned with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution. Use a three-edged needle to randomly prick the wound and surrounding red and swollen areas, or make a straight incision through the snake's tooth mark to detoxify. If there are snake fangs, they should be removed immediately.
3. The venom should be tempered. Intravenous injection of monovalent or polyvalent antivenom. For hypoallergy use 0.01% epinephrine.
4. Partial treatment of symptoms. Cold compresses and analgesics can be used; corticosteroids and blood volume expanders can be given to regulate toxic shock. Use antibiotics to prevent colds; inject cold antitoxins to prevent colds.
