Emergency Field First Aid for Dogs with Melody Ward, DVM

If you hike, camp, or recreate outdoors with your dog, this class is for you!
Snake River Quail Forever is hosting Dr. Melody Ward, gundog owner and emergency veterinarian at WestVet: Meridian. She will be talking about common dog injuries and first aid in the field to save your outdoor recreation companion. Topics include:
- basic health assessment
- first aid kit supplies
- wound care and bandaging
- heat stroke
- rattlesnake envenomation
- seizures/hypoglycemia
- allergic reactions
- and more!
There will be time for questions and practice bandaging for those who wish to stay at the end of the program.
A local trapping organization will be teaching all interested attendees how to release your dog from traps and give you hands-on training on how to do it. If you venture into the wilds with your pup, you need this training.
Please leave your pups at home. We will not be taking a break for lunch, so consider bringing snacks or a bag lunch to eat during the presentation. Restrooms and a drinking fountain will be available.
There will also be raffle tickets for sale and raffle items such as a Scheel’s gift card, Louie’s Alaskan Fish gift box, and more!
