In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your dog has just experienced a traumatic event, take a moment to assess your dog. If your dog has more serious injuries, then you will need to address these first before dealing with the broken leg. If the injury occurred on a road, move the dog to a safe place and then administer emergency first aid. Some things to look for include: Whether or not your dog is alert. If your dog is unconscious, then he may have a head injury. Whether or not your dog can take full breaths. The color of their gums. They should be pink. If they are very pale, muddy, or blueish in color, then your dog is not getting enough oxygen and needs immediate veterinary attention. Strong, synchronous pulses. Feel for the heart beating on the lower chest, near the elbow joint. The femoral pulse is also easy to feel on the inside surface of the thigh, in the middle of the leg. If you cannot find a strong regular pulse, then seek immediate veterinary attention for your dog. If you see your dog limping, take a look to see which leg is injured. Do a slow, careful examination of the injured leg. The broken leg could be really obvious, such as an exposed, open fracture. In this case, you'll need to keep the wound clean. If it is a closed fracture, your dog may be limping but there may not be any blood or obvious wound. Whatever type of break, you'll need to apply first aid and get your dog to the veterinary hospital right away! Apply pressure if you notice that the limb is bleeding. Since injured dogs can be fearful and aggressive, you'll need to be careful. Signs of aggression include growling, snapping, snarling, and rigidness. To avoid getting bitten, don't put your hands or face close to the injured dog, especially if it is already agitated. To help keep your dog calm, place a light towel or cloth over their head. This will help to limit light and sound, which may help to keep your dog calm. If you need to move the dog away from the place where the accident occurred, you can use a towel sling to support some of their weight. Wrap a clean bandage around each of the wounds several times until they're completely covered. You want to wrap the wounds so the bandages are snug but not applying too much pressure. Secure the bandage with first aid tape. If you don't have a clean bandage or gauze, you could use a clean towel. You should be able to fit 2 fingers under the bandage. If you can't, the bandage is too tight and you should rewrap it so it's looser. You should prevent the fracture from getting any worse by applying a simple leg-splint. Use a medical splint or, if you don't have one, a ruler or a spatula will do the trick! The splint should cover the entire area of the fracture and should extend past the joints above and below the fracture. It may go all the way up to where the leg meets the abdomen. Tie the splint to the leg with a bandage and secure it with medical tape at the top and the bottom. Your dog will have a hard time walking to the carrier or the car, so you should assist them. Wrap a towel or a blanket around their abdomen. Hold some of their weight with the towel while they walk to the carrier or the car. An easy way to do this is to pass a large bath towel under your dog's belly. Hold the end up over his back, like a sling, to support his weight. Because your dog could move around on the journey to the veterinary hospital, you should restrain them. Lay them down with their injured leg up in the carrier. Use the carrier to transport them to the hospital by car or taxi. Since injured dogs can become aggressive, you may want to put a muzzle on your dog before taking them to the veterinarian. However, make sure to remove the muzzle if you feel like it is restricting your dog's breathing. If you don't have a muzzle on you, you can make one by wrapping gauze or a piece of fabric around your dog's snout and tying a knot so it's snug. You'll need to get your dog to the veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Drive them or, if you don't have a car, get a taxi. On the way, try to keep your dog warm and comfortable by loosely wrapping them in a towel or blanket. If your dog was involved in a vehicular accident, it is especially important to get them to the hospital quickly because they could have internal injuries in addition to the broken leg. You could ask a friend to comfort your dog in the back seat while you drive. You'll need professional veterinary treatment. So don't use ointments on the open fracture, or perform other self-treatments on the dog. Don't try to re-set the bone yourself.
Summary: Evaluate the dog for more severe injuries. Examine the injured leg. Bandage and secure any wounds with first aid tape. Put a leg-splint on your dog. Use a towel as a sling to move your dog to the carrier. Restrain your dog in a carrier. Get your dog to the veterinary hospital.
