Here are some of the usual pet emergencies with their first aid procedures:

Cuts
Small cuts can heal completely in a few days with simple rinsing of water are regular application of antibiotic ointment. More severe and deeper cuts might need stitching – this should be done by a veterinarian. When applying first aid to any cuts, make sure that the animal is muzzled. Flush the affected area with enough water to remove any dirt and debris.

External Bleeding
The aim is to stop the bleeding. Use thick gauze pad or clean clothes and press it gently against the wound. Keep the pressure on for a couple of minutes until the blood starts clotting. Severe bleeding on the limp requires the use of gauze or an elastic band – use it as a tourniquet between the wound and the body while keeping pressure over the wound. Release the tourniquet every 15 to 20 minutes for 20 seconds.

Internal Bleeding
Internal bleeding has several symptoms such as blood in urine, coughing up blood, bleeding from mouth, nose, rectum, collapse, pale gums and quick and rapid pulse. Call for veterinary help immediately while keeping the animal calm and quiet.

Burns
Flush the affected area with cool running water. Get a mixture of ice and water held within a soft towel and apply it to the burnt area. Call for help.
