SOS Workshop for Doglovers
(Via email from Abodh)
The lives of many stray dogs can be saved if they get help before their problems become serious - since stray dogs have less access to medical help than pets. A dog-lover feels helpless when a stray dog needs medical aid.
The Welfare Of Stray Dogs (WSD) will conduct a half day S.O.S. (First Aid) workshop for dog lovers on Sunday, June 3, 2007 at 10:30 am at Girgaum. The workshop will impart important information on basic first-aid so that a trained volunteer or dog-lover can start treatment even before the vet or NGO arrives.
Topics to be covered:
1) Basic body language for safe handling.
2) How to examine a dog.
3) Recognition of symptoms, identification of canine diseases
4) Handling Emergencies - poisoning, burns, bleeding, acute vomiting
and diarrhoea.
5) Basic first Aid: Treatment of wounds, skin disease, eye and ear infections.
This workshop will be interactive, with demonstrations wherever appropriate.
It is FREE, but interested participants need to register. They can call The Welfare Of Stray Dogs (WSD) on 23733433 or email: wsdATwsdindiaDOTorg OR wsdindiaATgmailDOTcom.
