What
do you keep in the house for minor doggy health problems? A few carefully chosen alternative
remedy basics along with bandages etc. in your first aid kit could save you an expensive and
unnecessary trip to a vet. Frances Gavin of Canine Natural Cures explains. |

Animal CPR
At the
request of several users, vets Lori H. Feldman, DVM and Henry J. Feldman MA EMT-M have written
an easy-to-use Animal CPR brochure primarily aimed at Emergency Medical Personnel and others
who may encounter animals in arrest and translated it into the simple web page below. Using the
techniques described here, you could save the life of a dog (or other animal) that has stopped
breathing. You can make a copy for yourself and/or your club but the Feldmans ask that you do
not modify the contents but feel free, however, to give links/printouts to anyone. |

Club
First Aid Kits
Better safe than sorry. Take it your New Year's resolution to check your Club's
First Aid Kit. It only makes sense for all agility clubs to have a first aid kit in a
water-tight box, clearly marked and kept in a safe place. After all, it could be you
(or your dog) that needs help. (25/01/00) |

Emergency First
Aid
Because things don’t
always go according to plan in agility and the odd accident or mishap can happen, people
are often looking for first aid training. |

A Veterinary
Guide for Dog Owners
A 'vet's eye' view of first aid emergencies and
all the common health problems and diseases of the dog. It gives a level of
detailed information and guidance that is missing from many popular dog books,
yet explains the often-complex nature of canine diseases in a clear, jargon-free
way. Each body system is considered separately. By
Andrew Gardiner BVM&S, Cert SAS, MRCVS. Reviewed by Nicola Williams |
