First aid for hunting dogs - acute care in the hunting ground

First Aid for Hunting Dogs - Acute Care in the Hunting Ground by Christian Hackenbroich and Wiebke Obst, published on October 21, 2024, is an essential guide for dog handlers who have to deal with the many risks involved in hunting. On 152 pages, veterinarian Dr. Christian Hackenbroich explains how dog handlers can recognize emergency situations in the field at an early stage and react correctly. Hunting dogs are exposed to numerous dangers, such as injuries caused by defensive game - especially wild boar - as well as thorns and branches. There are also road traffic accidents and extreme circulatory stress, which can seriously endanger the health of the animals. As the vet is often not quickly accessible in the hunting ground, it is all the more important to be able to provide first aid quickly and competently in an emergency. In this book, dog handlers learn which immediate measures are crucial in critical situations and how they can give their dog the best possible care in an emergency until professional help arrives.
