handling artery cut, how to proceed?

ps : for legal hog hunting purpose

 

apply direct pressure w/ a CLEAN towel, get your ass out the woods and to the E vet. time is of the esscense

 

^^^ Agreed...

 

vet a must!

 

A band aid should do it

 

thanks

and theres a need for vitamin k for anticoagulation?

 

vitamin k promotes coagulation, its not an anticoagulant.
as far as a need goes, its all subjective

 

thanks

(my bad, i meant vitamin k for coagulation)

 

As much pressure as possible with a sterile dressing/material, rush to professional help, the end.

Don't fuck with artery cuts, unless you want your dog dead, serious advice from someone who knows first hand

Free tip on cheap as hell sterile pads, that absorb, help coagulate and are easy to position/hold on with pressure. Female Hygeine Pads... keep a packet in your first aid kit, get a bad cut, rip that packet of sanitary pads the feck open, peel them little bits of protective shit off and jam that fucker on there and hold it on as hard as you can.

 

ok

thanks for the free tip

 

Basic bleeding control is just direct pressure and elevation.

Once you pack on a dressing, DON'T REMOVE IT. If its bleeding through just put more dressings over what you've already got on there. If you remove it you'll disturb whatever coagulation was going on underneath.

 

DISCLAIMER: im not responsible for any procedure(s) you decide to attempt on your dogs, if you have no medical experience or knowledge get them to the vet ASAP.

apply direct pressure or if you have hemostats you can clamp the artery on both ends an stop the bleeding. if you feel you got the balls an steady hands to do it you could try to perform surgery on your dogs. you can use cat gut as the suture or some type of internally dissolving suture, the needle size varies on the artery or vein size.

i believe quikclot is ok to use dogs i dont really know but i know it works great in the battlefield and in civilian senarios, you dont really need a lot, all you do is pour some over the wound an it seals until you can get proper medical attention.

oh i forgot if you're going to use medical dressings to apply pressure over the cut make sure your dression are non-stick. they will have the shiney stuff on one side an regular cloth on the other ( i forgot the name i think its telfa)

 

thanks for the advices
