Look at Tula really paying attention. The love in Tula's eyes for you is so endearing. Every evening before I brush my dogs teeth I do this full body exam. But never thought to check his heartbeat. LOL poor Tula, such an awesome sport while being turned upside down. Thank you Dr. A.J and lil Tula.

Please give Tula some extra treats after all that. She's such a good girl.

So important. I did a canine first aid course for my two, a couple of months after I did it, and just two weeks after I started carrying a first aid kit with me on local walks, one of my dogs stood on something sharp and severed two arteries and a tendon. It was horrific. I honestly think if I didn't have the first aid kit on me I would have lost her. Managed to slow it down enough I could get her into the vets on time. I won't take them out without a full first aid kit now, this all happened about 1000m from home.

I am so glad I found your channel. I'm a helicopter dog mom. I literally owe my life to my furry kids. I want them to have full, happy dog lives for as long as I get to have them around. One thing I don't see discussed very much is their mental health. People don't really think about them as being capable of having psychological issues. In rescue, I've personally witnessed and worked with a lot of dogs, including my own, who needed a little extra work to get through some things. I'm hoping to bring more awareness of it in hopes that people will learn to love them through whatever issues they might need help with. It's always worth it. Seeing them happy and carefree, just enjoying life, has brought joy back into mine. I never really knew what love was until they came into my life. We can learn so much from these amazing animals. Thank you again for all you do for them.

Tula amazes me. She is SO accommodating ! I had never seen you hold her upside down but Tula handled it like a trooper. She's very fortunate to live w/you . Thank you for educating us about some basic first aid skills. Those of us who haven't been thru veterinarian school have a disadvantage. That's why so many of us are very grateful to you for sharing your knowledge.

An Ukrainian emergency battle wound care video recommends using tampons to block severely bleeding wounds (such as lacerated arteries) as a way to help stave off a wound bleeding out before it can get proper emergency care. In the case of the example here with Tula, if possible, the tampon(s) would be the first layer before the gauze. For anyone who doesn't know, tampons expand many times their width when they come into contact with blood (or any liquid). They are also sterile in their packaging.

Thank you. Time is of the essence in an emergency. After seeing a cat die in a grooming shop that two groomers were working on, I pray never to be in that situation. Just completed canine/feline first aid and cpr.
