When a dog walks through snowy terrain, it is normal that it can be formed, if the temperatures are very low ...
Balls of ice ... as we see in these images.
There is a way to prevent this, and to minimize the problem that can cause the dog.
As a means of preventing first aid.
In this case we see a dog that already has these ice balls ...
We will apply ... something that would have been ideal to have been applied before starting the journey through the snow.
And that is Vaseline.
The idea is to waterproof the animal's feet to avoid contact with the ice surface ...
And water .... sometimes found in the snow ...
He eventually formed ... this layer of ice, which ends up being not only annoying to the animal itself, but also dangerous ...
It lasts a long time ... because it may cause frostbite.
However, dogs often withstand low temperatures quite well ...
... As long as it is not prolonged voyages.
It is ideal in cases like these to use a glove or a bag to not be in direct contact with ice ...
Burns ... and suffer us to implement this measure canine first aid.
If the animal already has ice balls on the legs, we have to see but can be easily removed ...
... Leave them where they are, to avoid a major injury.
And in any case the dog itself will be taking then off along the way.
Or it will wait to get to a warm place, and then finally wash it to removed the ice balls.
