Be in charge: Suzy Azalea on dog emergencies and first-aid remedies

Accidents happen, even to dogs. That’s why I, Suzy Azalea, suggest that dog owners equip themselves with proper knowledge on the various types of dog emergencies and their respective first-aid remedies.


As a dog breeder and trainer, I have experienced attending to different dog emergencies throughout the years. To help other dog owners out there, here’s a list of mishaps that their dogs might experience:

- Consumed the wrong food. Dogs are like babies in such a way that they are fond of putting things into their mouth (for dogs, it’s more of licking or nibbling). This is why experts believe that most emergencies like acute abdominal pain, breathing difficulties, and even kidney failure, according to Readers Digest, are caused by the intake of wrong food.

- Get into accidents. Car accidents may cause broken bones and other internal injuries to dogs. In this case, it is better to rush the dog to the vet clinic. Other dog experts also suggest that owners wrap their dogs in a blanket to make them feel warm and to relieve them from the shock.

- Choking. Petplace.com shares that most dog owners confuse choking with coughing or vomiting. Moreover, choking is crucial especially if the airway is obstructed completely. If faced with this problem, owners are advised to check the neck of their pets for any item that may be constricting it. Check the insides of the mouth and remove any foreign object. If the condition persists, rush the dog to a veterinarian.
