Many pet owners will agree: our furry family members can and will get into trouble. Unfortunately, trouble means our pets can suffer injuries that can become serious issues.

Common Pet Injuries: What To Look Out For

Here are some common injuries for cats and dogs that we have to watch out for.

1. FOREIGN BODIES AND EATEN SUBSTANCES

Dogs and cats will, at least once, try to eat something that they shouldn’t. When this happens, it’s important to know what they’ve eaten or swallowed. Treatment can be either forcing your pet to vomit, or making them drink activated charcoal or milk of magnesia, to prevent poisoning. Always be aware of what can be poisonous for your pet. In any case, you should bring your pet immediately to the vet.

2. PUNCTURES

Punctures involve foreign objects, but in this case, it can be as small as a splinter, or it could be as life threatening as a nail. For smaller puncture injuries, you can use tweezers or needle nose pliers to remove the object. Be sure to disinfect the wound afterwards thoroughly, and then use bandages if needed. Clean the wound regularly, until it heals. For larger puncture injuries, you have to bring your pet to the vet pronto.
