Dogs are naturally curious and active animals. They like to play and explore and sometimes these adventures can result in injuries. Below we’ve outlined some of the most common injuries that your dog may encounter and how to help them get better.

Cuts and Scrapes
Dogs’ paws are very susceptible to injuries, specifically cuts and scrapes. The pads of a dog’s paws are tender and can crack because of the weather or can be cut easily.

If your dog appears to be in pain or you notice blood, carefully inspect your dog thoroughly to find the source of injury. Check the cut or scrape for foreign objects being lodged in it. If no objects are found, clean the area with a warm cloth and be on the look out for redness and swelling, which can indicate a potential infection. If the cut is severe, and won’t stop bleeding and/or becomes red and swollen, visit a veterinarian immediately.

Broken Bones
Small dogs and older dogs are prone to bone breaks and fractures from falling or fighting other dogs. If you notice your dog limping or hobbling, or notice a bone protruding at an awkward angle, call your vet immediately. Keep your dog in sight and away from other animals to limit further damage. Soothe the dog with a calming, reassuring voice and try to keep them as comfortable and calm as possible until they visit the veterinarian.

Heatstroke
Symptoms include rapid or labored breathing, vomiting, high body temperature, collapse. Place the animal in a tub of cool water. Or, gently soak the animal with a garden hose or wrap it in a cool, wet towel. Do not overcool the animal. Stop cooling when rectal temperature reaches 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Call veterinarian immediately.
Poisoning
Symptoms include vomiting, convulsions, diarrhea, salivation, weakness, depression, pain. Record what the pet ingested and how much. Immediately call your veterinarian or poison control center. Do not induce vomiting. In case of toxins or chemicals on the skin from oils, paints, insecticides and other contact irritants, request directions on if and how to wash the toxin off.

At E-firstaidsupplies.com we have specific dog first aid kits available in various sizes for purchase. They contain supplies that are necessary in case of an injury that may not necessarily require a vet’s attention, such as:

• Gauze Pads
• Antibiotic Ointment
• Ear Mite Relief Swabs
• Oral Cleanser Swabs
• Itch Relief Swabs for Pets
• Eye Cleaner Swab for Pets
• Small Splint

If ever you are concerned about the condition of your dog, be sure to call your veterinarian’s office.

Sanford Abbey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fieldtex Products, Inc., said, “Fieldtex Products has been in business since 1973. We operate out of a 55,000 sq. ft. facility in Rochester, NY and employ over 120 people. We ventured into the first aid and medical supply marketplace in 1996 and launched our online e-commerce First Aid store – e-firstaidsupplies.com – in 2002.”

“We are doing this because of the recent Hurricane Sandy and the wreckage it brought, and the economic struggles brought on by the current economy. While our online first aid business has grown year over year, we have never done anything this promotional to give our customers the opportunity to save 15% on all our first aid products and related products for a 10-day period,” Sanford Abbey added.

“Additionally, we are not only giving our customers a 15% discount, we will be donating 2% of all orders during this coupon code period to the Red Cross to offer our assistance to such a fine not-for-profit organization. Giving back to our customers and donating to the Red Cross is the right thing for E-firstaidsupplies.com to do this holiday season and we wish all the very best of the holiday season to everyone,” Sanford Abbey concluded.

E-FirstAidSupplies.com produces numerous types of first aid kits, including home first aid kits, OSHA compliant work/business first aid kits, athletic team first aid kits, pet first aid kits, boating/marine first aid kits, and specialty first aid kits (dental, eye care, baby, heat stress, and insect bite kits).

We also carry more than 2000 first aid supplies to restock your medical/first aid needs. Some of our most popular products in this category include instant cold packs, bandages, gauzes and dressings, medical gloves, ointments, antiseptics and pain relief items.

We have recently added related products such as camping gear, adult diapers/incontinence supplies, feminine hygiene products and basic vitamins, minerals and supplements. While many of these products are not directly related to our first aid kits and supplies, many of our current customers find that having them available on the website broadens their purchasing power.

Founded in 1973 Fieldtex is a family owned private company made up of two divisions: a manufacturer known as Fieldtex Cases that produces soft sided carrying cases for portable electronic equipment for medical and military markets and the second division, a medical supplies distributor known as Fieldtex Medical. Fieldtex Medical primarily distributes medical and first aid products. For several years we have supplied our products to emergency medical, schools, cities, towns, youth team sports leagues and the general safety marketplace.

Common Holiday Kitchen Injuries

First Aid Protocols

November 21, 2012

http://www.dailyfork.com/2009/03/5_common_cooking_injuries_and.php

Burning Yourself on the Oven

When removing something from the oven or moving something that has recently been removed from the oven are the most common ways people tend to burn themselves in the kitchen. Utilizing a potholder when handling anything that may be hot is key in preventing these burns. Always being aware when the oven door is open and being aware when the oven is on will help prevent burns.

The first and most important thing to do is run the burned area under cool running water for several minutes. This takes a lot of the heat out of the burn and stops it from getting worse. You can also use Burn Care items such as antiseptic creams, burn creams or burn sprays. You can place dry, sterile gauze over the burn. This allows the burn to breathe whilst healing but protects it from germs. Anything worse than a minor burn should be treated with caution and medical advice sought as quickly as possible.

Knife Cuts

Cutting up ingredients for a recipe can be a dangerous endeavor. One slip of the knife and you can find yourself with a minor cut or a much more serious injury. Minor kitchen cuts happen everyday; however to avoid even the minor injuries that can ensue while preparing meals, always

Clean the wound area lightly, carefully wiping away any large contaminants such as dirt or food. If the wound is deep enough to expose flesh under the skin or is numb, it is best to visit a hospital immediately after controlling the bleeding. Apply an antibacterial ointment or solution to the wound area. Any of these disinfectants can work, but rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide may be better for larger wounds because liquid solutions penetrate into the wound more easily.

Apply adhesive bandages to the wound if it is not bleeding profusely. If the wound is larger or somewhat deep, place a sterile gauze pad over the wound and wrap it with gauze somewhat firmly. A larger wound may also require stitches; if you are unsure, see a physician.

Keeping alert in the kitchen and knowing these basic skills will help prevent minor and major injuries for you and your family. Knowing your surroundings and practicing correct procedures is key in staying safe in the kitchen. Accidents do happen; however if you use preventative measures when cooking, kitchen accidents are less likely to happen. Be prepared, have a kitchen/cooking first aid kit ready, accidents happen.
