Hi, I'm Dr. Bobbi Conner and welcome to the pet first aid course. Of course, we all hope that our pets never suffer any injuries or illness but if the unpredictable happens being prepared can sometimes mean the difference between a good or bad outcome. I can still remember the case of Charlie, a one and a half year old Springer Spaniel, who was out playing in the yard with his family. He was having so much fun that he never stopped to take a break until he starting stumbling and collapsed. His family immediately suspected that he was suffering heat stroke so while mom went to get the car, dad scooped him up and dunked him in the kids wading pool to cool him off. They transported him immediately to the hospital. By the time he arrived his temperature had returned to normal. Now he was showing the classic signs of heat stroke and did have to be hospitalized for several days but was able to quickly get back home with his family without suffering any long term problems. Now in this course we're going to equip you with the tools needed to recognize a problem early, know when to provide care and how to do so appropriately, and what information to gather to help your veterinarian. This can help ensure better outcomes and maybe even save you a little money. Prompt and effective pet first aid can sometimes replace the need for veterinary care. In most situations, however, it's really going to be the first steps that you can take to prevent an emergency situation from getting worse while transporting your pet to a veterinarian. Remember if at any time that you're concerned that you're not able to appropriately manage the situation, seek veterinary help. There's also a number of resources available to you so that you can always make the right decision for you and your pet.
Welcome to your ProTraining's Pet First Aid course. In this introductory lesson, we'll be introducing you to Charlie, a one-and-a-half-year-old Springer Spaniel, who received the care he needed to recover fully from his health scare. We'll also tell you a few of the important things you'll be learning in this course, along with one crucial warning you should definitely heed.
Your video instructor for this course is Dr. Bobbi Conner, Dr. of Veterinary Medicine. And while the video content is very thorough, we're also providing you with written lessons (like this one) for every video in the course.
In these written lessons, you'll come across the occasional Pro Tip, those things you might want to pay extra attention to, along with a few Warnings, which you should pay even more attention to.
As mentioned above, Charlie is a one-and-a-half-year-old Springer Spaniel with boundless energy. While playing in the yard one fine day with his family, he was enjoying himself way too much to take a break from all the fun, so he pushed himself a bit too hard.
Charlie Began stumbling and then finally collapsed. His family immediately suspected that he was suffering from heatstroke. While mom went to get the car, dad instinctively grabbed Charlie and dunked him in the kiddie pool to cool off.
Charlie's family rushed him to the hospital and by the time they arrived, his temperature had begun to return to normal.
His family was right; it turned out that Charlie had all the classic signs of heatstroke and was actually required to stay in the hospital for several days. However, thanks to the quick actions by Charlie's family, he was able to quickly get back home and experienced no long-term problems, which can be rare with heat stroke victims.
In this course, we're going to equip you with all the tools you need to:
Prompt and affective pet first aid can sometimes replace the need for veterinary care. However, in most situations, what you will be learning are simply the first steps that you can take to prevent an emergency situation from getting worse while you also transport your pet to the veterinarian.
Warning: It's better to be safe than sorry. If at any time you do not feel that you are able to manage the situation with your pets injury or illness, do not hesitate. Seek veterinarian care immediately. Medical emergencies often require prompt attention, even those involving our furrier family members.
Welcome again to your ProTrainings' Pet First Aid course. We truly hope it becomes a difference-maker for you and your pets.
