There are about 2,500 war and military service dogs in service, with about 700 serving at any given time overseas. Military Working Dogs (MWDs) are critical assets for military police, special operations units, and others operating in today's combat environment. The expectation, given the significant combat multiplier impact of these dogs and the intense bond between the handler and dog, is that injured working dogs will receive the same level of care as any injured U.S. military personnel. Veterinary care is available at multiple locations throughout theater, and the veterinary healthcare team is the MWD's primary provider. Yet, human healthcare providers (HCPs) may be the only medical personnel available to MWDs that are gravely ill or injured. As most HCPs are unfamiliar with medical care of dogs, the Joint Trauma System published a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG), a set of detailed clinical guidelines for managing life-threatening problems of MWDs encountered in combat operations. The CPG is available at the JTS website. This article is covers the most common urgent MWD care challenges HCPs may face.
现役的军犬和服役犬约有2500只，其中约700只随时在海外服役。军犬是宪兵、特种作战部队以及在当今战斗环境中执行任务的其他部队的关键资产。鉴于这些军犬对战斗力的显著提升作用以及训犬员与军犬之间的紧密联系，受伤的工作犬理应得到与任何受伤的美国军事人员相同水平的照料。战区各地多处都可提供兽医护理，兽医医疗团队是军犬的主要护理提供者。然而，对于身患重病或受伤的军犬来说，人类医疗服务提供者（HCP）可能是唯一能够提供医疗救助的人员。由于大多数HCP不熟悉犬类医疗护理，联合创伤系统发布了一份临床实践指南（CPG），这是一套针对在战斗行动中遇到的危及军犬生命问题的详细临床指南。该CPG可在联合创伤系统网站上获取。本文涵盖了HCP可能面临的最常见的军犬紧急护理挑战。
