3 Introduction First Aid- Purpose
The initial care or treatment of sick or injured animals before a complete medical evaluation and treatment. Purpose Reduce effects of injury Reduce or stop severe bleeding Prevent death of an animal

4 Handling and Restraint
Should be applied appropriately State of shock Unconscious Hemorrhaging Bone fractures Animals should be moved and restrained carefully

5 Animals in Shock Capillary refill (mucous membrane)
Pale, gray or blue in color Should be healthy pink! Pale Colored A Healthy Pink

6 Shock and Internal Hemorrhage
Pulse rate 1 ½ to 2 times above normal State of shock Internal hemorrhage Pain Respiratory disease Handling Kept Still Reduce distraction

7 Shock and Internal Hemorrhage
Body Heat Body temperature may drop Overheating should be avoided Cover animal with blanket to maintain body temp

8 Wounds and External Hemorrhage
Control of Blood Flow Artery Bright red and spurts as heart beats Vein Darker red, steadier flow Severity of bleeding Proximity to a joint? Is it clotting? Non-Bleeding Wounds Cleaned with warm water Cleaned with antiseptic or anitbiotic Supportive-protective bandage applied

9 Wounds and External Hemorrhage
Severe Bleeding Apply pressure With hand Pressure bandage Tourniquet Pressure directly on the wound doesn’t stop bleeding Artery: Apply pressure above Vein: Apply pressure below the wound

10 Wounds and External Hemorrhage
Tourniquet Tightened to Stop bleeding Loosened every 10 to 15 minutes Use in Horse Arterial tourniquet could shut down horse’s circulation Clotting in Horse in slower Keep applying bandages until bleeding stops.

11 Pain and Fractures Signs of Pain and/or Fractures Labored breathing
Depression Reluctance to move Non-weight bearing Pain Open joint Fracture

12 Fractures and Broken Bones
Handling Kept still Reduce pain Reduce possibility of bone damaging important vessels If need, apply temporary splint Two stiff pieces of material Lots of padding!!! Splint wrapped around leg

13 Respiratory Distress Causes of distress Drowning Trauma
Circulatory shock Anaphylactic shock Electrical shock

14 Respiratory Distress Artifical respiration
Lay animal on side Press straigh down on thorax with palm of hand Release quickly Repeat cycle every 4 to 5 seconds Do not apply if animal has thorax or rib injuries!

15 Colic Colic Abdominal pain Gas Impaction Twist Hypermotility
Small intestine, large intestine or stomach

16 Colic Clinical signs in horse Vital Signs Not eating Pawing Rolling
Sweating Vital Signs Increase body temp Slightly to high pulse rate Pale, Dark red or blue mucous membranes Capillary refill greater than 3 seconds

17 Colic Treatment Walk horse Jog if horse wants to lay down and roll If horse is laying quietly, leave alone Diagnose of what type of colic based on physical examination of the vet.
