NCCERT Members Attend K9 Down Course
NCCERT Members Attend K9 Down
RALEIGH NC - NCCERT members joined Military, Law Enforcement, Fire Department, EMS, and FEMA teams from around the country to attend K-9 Down, a program offered at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.
K-9 Down is a highly specialized program designed for professional working dog handlers and emergency rescue personnel - anyone who may respond to canine health emergencies in the field. The course is tailored for police officers, firefighters, medics, search and rescue teams, military dog handlers or other canine handlers with specialized training. The course is two days in length.
A series of lectures are presented the first day on topics ranging from the normal canine physical exam to toxicities and heat exhaustion. On the second day, the group is divided and assigned to one of two half-day sessions, which offer hands-on training in small groups. In the hands on section, catheter insertion, fluid therapy administration both intravenous (IV) and intraosseous, bandaging/splinting, intubation and GDV (bloat) pre hospital relief, were taught.
