I'd be interested in these things too.

Prioritizing what needs to be done first is paramount.

We carry the chicken broth that was used in the keep. If he will drink on his own odds are he is not in shock, and there is some time to work on the outside things.

If he will not drink, or he can't drink, then fluid treatment moves to the top of the list and he will need a bag administered. I have seen some do a bag regardless, just in case.

During all of this and is seldom thought of is warmth. The dog should be in a warm environment as soon as possible.

I have seen some doctor on the tailgate, put him I the box and drive home. I remember one who RIP on the drive home and it was attributed to the show. I have always thought if he rode in the front seat he may have made it.

Interested in the thread. A good topic for FrostyPaws to drop in on.
