Provide pain relief:
Injuries can be very painful for pets, so it’s important to provide pain relief. Your veterinarian can provide appropriate pain medication, but you can also use a cold pack to help alleviate pain and swelling. Cold packs can be made by wrapping ice or frozen peas in a towel, and then placing it on the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time. You can repeat this every 2-3 hours as needed.
Provide fluids and nutrition:
Injuries can cause pets to lose their appetite, so it’s important to provide fluids and nutrition to keep them hydrated and nourished. You can try offering small amounts of food and water, or you may need to provide fluids through an IV if your pet is unable to eat or drink. It’s also important to provide your pet with a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients, as this can help support the healing process.
