Field Guide to Dog First Aid

Sized to fit in your pocket or first aid kit for easy use. Each section is tabbed for quick access to a particular ailment and covers such problems as snake bites, gunshot wounds, poisoning, choking, cuts, bleeding, lacerations, pests, eye problems, vomiting, ear problems, shock, heat prostration, broken bones, conditioning, and first aid supplies.

Dr. Randy Acker moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, and became the owner of the Sun Valley Animal Center after graduating from Colorado State University in 1979. Dr. Acker’s focus has been on dog surgery with particular emphasis on orthopedics. By attending multiple orthopedic courses over the years, Randy has obtained the skills to achieve excellence in orthopedic surgeries.

Courses attended by Dr. Acker include cruciate ligament repair (TPLO, TTA and others), Total Hip Replacement (BioMedtrix THR, Kyon THR, Micro and Nano Hip Systems), bone plating, arthroscopy, external fixation, and many others.

After Dr. Acker’s yellow Labrador, Tate, developed elbow dysplasia and advanced arthritis at a young age, he set out to find a solution to help his furry best friend, which would later become a revolutionary orthopedic procedure to help dogs everywhere suffering from osteoarthritis.
