Bleeding wounds, various nicks and cuts, fractures...these are only some of the common injuries dogs have but impalement injuries is not really a common injury of dogs. Dogs though can sustain impalement injuries because these are very active and playful animals. Dogs get into different scrapes and sustain different kinds of injuries. Ingestion of poisonous substances, bloat or a blockage caused by the ingestion of a foreign object are injuries that would make a dog owner take a few minutes to recognize the true condition of the pet. An impalement injury will be easily noticed so that the dog owner will not wonder what accident happened to the pet.
An impalement injury can happen if the dog has fallen from heights and got impaled by a tree branch or speared by a fence. Dogs always got something in their mouth and a stick can get stuck in the dog's mouth. Dogs have the inclination to roam and one that has trespassed and destroyed other people's property can be meet a sad fate from the arrow of an irate person.
The impalement injury can be so serious to cause the death of the dog. Dogs are hardy animals and some minor impalement injuries would not really have serious effects on the pet. Professional medical attention will be necessary for serious and not so serious impalement injuries. A dog owner may think that a professional medical care is no longer necessary especially if the foreign object that has impaled the dog was not embedded too deep. An impalement injury that appears minor can have a more serious effect on the dog. A vital organ may have been affected by the object that has impaled the dog. Internal bleeding is another possible outcome of an impalement injury.
Professional medical attention must be given to the dog but before transporting the pet to a medical facility, first aid treatments must be administered to save the pet from a lot of pain.
Dogs in pain can turn aggressive and an impalement injury would certainly cause the dog immense pain. Use a muzzle to prevent the dog from snapping. The object that has speared the dog must not be removed. A dog owner's most important role is to calm the pet as unnecessary movements can jar the foreign object and cause more damage. Immobilizing the pet and the foreign object will prevent the pet's condition from getting worse . The impaled dog though can be removed from a stationary object like the steel bar on a fence. The removal of the object must be done gently and bleeding must be controlled while the pet is rushed to the hospital.
