Things You'll Need
- Muzzle
- Newspaper or stick
- Towel or cloth
- Surgical tape or strips of cloth
Instructions
Place a muzzle on your dog to ensure that it does not bite you. Even if your dog is typically well-mannered, an injury can make it irritable.
Roll up a newspaper or wrap a stick in a towel or cloth. Use a newspaper roll or a stick that extends beyond the injured area on both sides to create immobility.
Lay the newspaper or stick gently along the injured leg. Try not to reposition the leg; movement could make the injury worse.
Use surgical tape or strips of cloth to secure the newspaper or stick in place on your dog's leg. Secure it tightly enough to stay in place but not so tight that it puts pressure on the leg.
