Many people are teaching you how to prevent dog fractures or how to treat them. Today, the editor would like to talk to you about what should you do as a shoveler in the recovery period after the surgery for a dog fracture?
Correction is very important. After the dog shoveler takes the dog to the hospital, he usually takes a video. The veterinarian proposes actual solutions. They will make corresponding correction plans based on the location of the dog's fracture. This part of the key is the doctor, so I won’t go into details.
Next I will focus on the main rehabilitation treatment of dogs after correction. This part is mainly centered on the shoveling owners, and it is also a part that many shoveling owners will ignore.
Many dog shovelers will make their dogs rest in an iron cage or small space after their broken bones, and try to limit their activities. Some dog shovelers will not allow their dogs to go out for half a year.
The above practices are advocated within 1 to 2 weeks after the dog is broken, but after that, the shoveler must take the dog for certain rehabilitation treatment.
If dogs do not exercise for a long time, their muscles will atrophy and their joints will be stiff, which will not be conducive to their recovery after the fracture, and will also produce various sequelae. Even after all the bones are cured, symptoms such as long and short legs may be left behind.
Dogs are not recommended to exercise in the early stage of recovery, because the soft tissue is still in the repair stage at this time. If you exercise blindly, it may cause 2 injuries to the bones.
At this time, the shoveler can massage the dog. The key purpose is to promote blood circulation, eliminate swelling, and avoid muscle atrophy.
At this stage, the dog's bones are quite sensitive, and if it is damaged again, it is likely to cause secondary fractures. In addition, when to enter this stage, it depends on the severity of the dog's bone fracture and the repair status.
In the later stage of repair, the shoveler should help the dog carry out activity training around the bone fracture and its entire body joints to repair the energy of the muscles.
After dogs are corrected and fixed, this part of rehabilitation treatment is very important. It can remove swelling, avoid joint adhesions and stiffness, and can also promote bone healing and prevent dog muscle atrophy.
