The veterinarian will not only definitely stop the hemorrhage, but will take measures to counteract shock and to replace, if necessary, the body fluids that have been lost. In any injury, shock is probably the most important concern, because collapse due to shock is often a more common cause of death in these cases than the injury itself. Actual treatment is rather elusive and uncertain. Warmth and quiet are very necessary measures following injury. Sometimes these help more than the actual shock medications themselves.
Treatment is generally successful. If it takes place before the hematoma becomes too extensive, healing will be complete and damage to the ear will be negligible. A common aftermath, which often cannot be helped, is that a normally upstanding ear may sometimes permanently lose its erectness and fall over to one side. If treatment takes place after the hematoma has wrought considerable damage, the ear may develop a more or less crinkled appearance. In untreated animals, the ear will almost always develop an exaggerated crinkled appearance not very different from that of the cauliflower ear of a wellbattered prizefighter.
Dental pet care experts say that up to 80% of dogs manifest signs of dental diseases by three years in the absence of proper oral hygiene. Getting dogs accustomed to dental care as early as possible is crucial to ensuring their long-term health. With regular check-ups, cases such as bad bite or malocclusion, gingival irritation, deciduous teeth and tartar formation can be spotted earlier. This will prevent the situation from worsening and help save the dog’s teeth.

Possibly the simplest way to control carsickness is by not feeding the animal before taking it for a drive and also by giving it a mild sedative such as an aspirin tablet. Along with this, the animal should be petted and spoken to softly in an effort to subdue its nervousness. Sometimes it even helps to let the animal play with a favorite toy so that it can get its mind off the fact that it is riding. At best, however, the effectiveness of these procedures is uncertain and variable.

In regard to the charge that animals are rendered prone to disease by clipping, this, too, is based on a misconception. It is commonly stated that irritations of the skin may result from clipping. The fact is that clipping is done with a machine. The machine is run by a motor. In the process of clipping, the motor gets hot. If the excessively hot machine is applied to the animal’s skin, naturally the skin will get burned. If the clipping machine is dull, the skin will become scratched. It is therefore clear that if careful, competent, professional work is done on the animal, these difficulties will not be encountered.
