Hunting dog hemorrhages

If a hemorrhage is not stopped right away it can cause the dog to go into shock and die.

Internal hemorrhages:

  • Start out by calming the dog down and covering him with a blanket.
  • Avoid moving the dog as much as possible and get help immediately.

Open wounds:

  • You should press down on the wound by using cotton or gauze over the wound and sealing it with a band aid. If the wound continues to bleed, repeat the same process without removing the other band aid.
  • If the dog is bleeding excessively on one of his paws or his tail, make a tourniquet by surrounding the affected area with a long piece of cloth, on top of the wound, around it and tie it. Place a pencil or a stick to stretch out the cloth band and wait for the hemorrhaging to stop. Tourniquets should never be left on for more than fifteen minutes.
