Other pertinent information that you can include in the event that you misplace your first aid kit are:

o your name,
o phone number,
o address
o vet's name and phone number

Correct actions to be taken for the different types of injury:

o In the event of bleeding from your puppy, always apply pressure directly to bring a halt to the bleeding. Applied to the bleeding part for more than ten minutes and then dress up the wound.
o For wound associated to burns as a result of electrical, heat or chemical, there will be inflammation, blistering and redness in the region of the burns. Splashing tap water for twenty minutes can be helpful for the wounded region and after that you can put an ice pack under the wrap of towel to the wound. Call in the vet as soon as possible.
o When diarrhea occurs, the puppy will be in a distress state so you have to stop feeding for twelve to twenty four hours. To prevent dehydration, water is to be fed regularly. If diarrhea becomes protracted, seek the vet advice.
o Another scary prospect is your puppy having a heatstroke and the symptoms are vomiting, breathing rapidly or short of breath over and above high body temperature and weakness. The right procedure to carry out is to wrap the puppy in cool wet towel but call the vet without delay when the temperature rises to 103 degrees.
o You have to seek the help of a vet when there are broken limbs. Check that there is no bleeding and also look out that the puppy is not in a state of shock. For the fractured limbs, use a piece of wood and do not try to set it but gently send the puppy to the vet.
o When your puppy is bitten by other animal, wash the wounded area with saline and then use gauze to wrap it. Gloves are necessary when you are washing the wound so as to steer clear of any infection.

With an emergency first aid kit and all the proper steps that you need to take in the event that your puppy is badly affected by the different types of injury, it will reduce the amount of panic and indecisiveness.
