This week, Dr. Schumann discusses some options to help keep your dogs cool when training and running tests in the summer heat! This is also good information for anyone who is planning on hunting with their dog when dove season opens next month!

One of the most asked questions we get is probably one of the most important….”What needs to be in my dog’s first aid kit?”

Dr. Schumann sat down and came up with a list of items that you should have with you when traveling with your pup. Having these on hand should help you out in a pinch if something happens to your dog while you’re at a test or hunting, until you can get them to a vet for additional care.

Please do not use any of these products without consulting a veterinarian and as always, let us know if you have any questions!

-Bandage material (rolled gauze, cotton, vet wrap, tape)
-Scissors
-Eye flush
-Eye medications (one with a steroid for irrititated and inflamed eyes), one without (for corneal scratches)
-Hydrogen peroxide
-Iodine
-Rubbing alcohol
-Antibiotics (cephalexin for skin. Metronidazole for diarrhea. Doxicycline for respiratory.)
-Anti-inflammatoire (carprophin)
-Staple gun and remover
-Styptic powder (for nails)
-Skunk off
-Benedryl
-Thermometer
-Topical Antiseptic Spray

This past week, Dr. Schumann was presented with an eighth month old lab puppy. This puppy was very lame in its right shoulder. After X-rays we’re done, it was determined that he had an OCD (Osteochondritis dissecans). This is where the cartilage has died and caused a lesion that needed to be removed.

Dr. Schumann was able to preform the necessary surgery and the pup is expected to make a full recovery!
