Managing Dog Bite Injuries
Manage episode 126500069 series 179525
**Apologies for the less than optimal sound quality of this episode and the non-stereo recording!**
Dog bite injuries are a relatively common problem to be faced with in small animal practice. In this episode of the podcast I am joined by Nicola Kulendra, a European specialist in small animal surgery, to discuss their management. Some of the points we discuss include:
- Adhering to standard ECC principles in terms of initial stabilisation and analgesia
- The mechanics of dog bites and the ‘tip of the iceberg’ concept
- Exploring bite injuries to uncover their true extent; the role of diagnostic imaging
- The importance of wound drainage
- Bacterial involvement and the use of antimicrobials
- The ‘two hit theory’ in cats with moderate-to-severe dog bite injuries
- The ‘big dog, little dog’ phenomenon
iPhone/iPad users see HERE for my Small Animal Emergency Medicine app for iOS; Android version is in development.
