## About
Hopefully it's knowledge I'll never need, but today I attended a Dog First Aid course with Dog First Aid Derbyshire

Murphy is always inquisitive on walks and recently found a chicken bone 🦴 Thankfully I didn't panic and managed to get it out of his mouth, but it made me realise that if he'd actually started choking, I wouldn't have had a clue what to do.

After spending the morning learning how to respond in an emergency, I left feeling far more confident than when I arrived.

We covered:

🩺 Checking vital signs
❤️ CPR
🦴 Choking
☀️ Heat stroke
🐕 GDV (bloat)
🩹 Bleeding and bandaging
😵 Shock

…and plenty more.

The course was relaxed, informative and really practical, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and have a go ourselves.

📚 We came away with training notes, a handbook, additional information from the Animal PoisonLine and a certificate

⛑️ I may also have come home with a canine first aid kit which has already found a permanent home in the car.

🐾 Murphy was delighted to be my first practice patient when I got home and may have had his paw bandaged for educational purposes 😂

It was lovely meeting local dog owners and canine professionals who are just as passionate about keeping dogs safe as we are 🐾
