Dogs (pets): Should I let my dog lick his wound to heal it?
I think the best course of action is to use the same judgement that you would when dealing with a child. If the wound is small and fresh, an everyday sort of wound that you know how they came by, that is neither deep nor long, the kind that will obviously heal on its own then allowing your dog to lick it will do no harm. Once the wound has stopped irritating the dog will usually leave it alone so there is no need to cover it. There is also some evidence that dog’s saliva contains antibacterial properties and licking would help to keep it clean. If, however, the wound is from an unknown cause, is large, deep or obviously requires stitching, is causing your dog discomfort or distress then seek proper medical advice without delay.A dogs immune systems are designed to deal with the kind of bacteria that would put their human in hospital. They can drink filthy water, eat something long dead, putrid or just plain disgusting yet not suffer the food poisoning that would put us humans in a coma but they are just as vulnerable as us to bacteria in wounds so if you are the least bit unsure get them to the vet ASAP.
For how many days a merchant navy officer can sail in a year?
Earlier it use to be as long as you want.But now, peopple usally dont sail more than year. And even companies doesn't want you to sail you more than a year,reasons being Fatigue which leads to lot of accidents. And our Medical is also valid for year.But still there are some companies which want you to sail more. Some time more than year,they renew the medicals abroad only. These are unsafe companies. But trust me any officer would not sail more than 7 mnths.. Becoz your mental and physical level drowns so much that you lead to irritation and anger. Still crew sails more than 9 months. REASON being they dont have any mental fatigue, they just need physical rest.But I do salute to guys who like to sail more than 9 months, because it need a lot of mental strength.
