Protocolo de intervención del neonato canino y medidas terapéuticas para su atención

Abstract

This work focuses on achieving good management of the neonate and recognizing the weak neonate in order to assist it. It is considered a neonate from birth to 2 weeks of life and is characterized by having physiological immaturity, which is why it has physiological differences with respect to an adult and for this reason it is important to know its management. The first point is primary care for the neonate, drying it, unclogging its airways and stimulating it. Once he is breathing, it is vitally important that he consumes colostrum and begins to monitor the others to identify the weak. Control is mainly based on parameterizing their physiological constants and other parameters such as the hygiene of their environment and their diet. The identification of weak neonates is done using the APGAR system, which evaluates heart rate, respiratory rate, neonatal reflexes, muscle tone and mucosal coloration. Once the weakest are identified, they are given medical assistance to improve their condition. In addition, you should find out if the weakness they present is associated with any disease or pathology and treat it immediately.
