Some backpacks state that you cannot fully submerge them as colours may bleed or material may be damaged. If you cannot fully submerge your backpack, use a wet cloth or sponge together with cleaner. Dry your backpack upside down away from any direct heat sources. Do not place your backpack in the dryer as it may damage the material. Make sure that your backpack is completely dry before putting it away as mould can grow on moist material.

You'll need two or three people to help you roll the patient onto her back. Wash your hands before rolling and explain to the patient what you're going to do (if she's conscious). The patient should be lying on a blanket or turning sheet with her hands placed across her chest. You should all be holding the blanket or sheet on the side of the patient that's farthest from you. Gradually pull the sheet towards you and over the patient, turning her onto her back. Once the patient is on her back, you can examine the skin. Look for any bruising that might indicate trauma, lacerations or gunshot wounds. Since you should have already examined and cleared the cervical spine, you'll need to press (palpate) each individual vertebrae of the back. Specifically, palpate the thoracic and lumbar spine, feeling each vertebrae for pain that might indicate a fracture.  Don't forget to check any parts of the musculo-skeletal system that you might not have examined earlier. For example, you can ask the patient to grasp your finger with their clutched hand to check for motor control and strength, and then ask the patient to tell you without looking which finger of theirs you are gripping. Palpate down the lengths of the arms and legs as well, all the way to the toes and fingers to feel for possible fractures. You can also do this when you are doing the log roll check of the patient's spine. Once the primary and secondary surveys are complete, perform a TTS. This extensive examination should take place within 24 hours of admitting the patient. Or, do it when the patient is awake and alert enough to participate in the examination. You'll need to get the patient's medical chart that includes all laboratory and radiologic data. This information will be combined with the opinions of consultants in order to make a management and care plan that's specific to the patient.

If tests reveal canine stroke, your doctor will discuss with you the causes that led to the condition. There are no specific treatments for a stroke except for targeting the underlying cause of the condition.  An ischemic stroke is associated with such conditions as diabetes, improper functioning thyroid glands, heart or kidney disease and hypertension.  A hemorrhagic stroke is often due to a blood clot, hypertension, rat poisoning and compromised blood vessels. Other causes of stroke include brain tumors and head trauma. Once the condition is diagnosed as a canine stroke and the underlying cause is identified, your vet can implement a treatment plan. Most cases of canine stroke can be managed at home, once the vet has made a diagnosis. Your vet may prescribe medications, and they will also explain how to care for your dog and monitor its condition at home. Your dog may feel disoriented and have difficulty walking. Home nursing for your dog may involve:  Making sure your dog has a comfortable bed. Carrying your dog outside so it can go to the bathroom. Placing food and water within easy reach near your dog’s bed. Giving your dog any medication prescribed by your vet. You can also give your dog a daily massage to increase its ability to move around. Use the palm of your hand to rub its entire body. For severe strokes or strokes caused by trauma, the vet may wish to keep your dog in the hospital for observation and treatment. If the cause of the stroke is trauma, the first step will be to decrease any swelling within the brain and to keep re-hydrating your dog.  Your dog will be given an IV of fluids so that he can get hydrated.  Medications such as Amlodipine may be administered to control high blood pressure, if the stroke was caused by hypertension. Other medications may also be given, including an anti-inflammatory such as an NSAID if swelling is evident, antibiotics for a diagnosis of infection, a sedative for ataxia and disorientation, an antiemetic for vomiting and stomach distress, and anticonvulsants to control seizures. Your dog will be placed in a soft, comfortable position during treatment so that his head is not laying below the rest of his body. This position will help to promote proper blood flow. At-home care involves constant monitoring of your pet during recovery. You may need to employ the assistance of others, such as having your neighbor look in on your dog if you have to leave the house. You could also hire a pet sitter to keep an eye on your dog when you are away. Consider taking long lunch breaks to go and check on your dog, or work from home if you are able to. You could also ask if you can bring your dog to work. Medications may also be prescribed to help your dog fully recover from a stroke and possibly prevent further attacks. Dogs with symptoms of ataxia and disorientation may be given a sedative. Other medications may include:  An antiemetic for vomiting issues. An anti-inflammatory for swelling symptoms. Antibiotics for infections. Anticonvulsants to control seizures and prevent future strokes. Antiplatelet drugs similar to Plavix, an anticoagulant for long-term therapy for the prevention of blood clots. Drugs that increase the supply of blood oxygen to the brain, such propentofylline (Vivitonin). How quickly your dog recovers depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the stroke and any underlying health problems. Severe strokes may lead to permanent disability. However, with proper treatment, you can maximize your dog’s quality of life and help it adjust to problems such as poor balance. Your vet may recommend physical therapy to help your dog regain functionality and learn to compensate for permanent physical symptoms.
