A little different from the things I usually post, but I thought this might be helpful to some pet owners out there.

A few of these tips might seem pretty obvious, but I wanted to cover all the bases for those who might not have dealt with hot weather and small pets before.

I know some clever pet owners have come up with other tricks to cool their animals down, so it’s worth looking into extra solutions too. This is just supposed to be some starter’s tips.

A lot of people don’t realize how easy it is for guinea pigs to overheat, and assume that because of South America it’s good for them to be kept warm. They’re so short and stocky though that this guide is really important for any guinea pig owners.

If you have ferrets pay attention to this. They also overheat easily. High temps that are uncomfortable for a human are dangerous for them. They don’t sweat.

So Mattel came out with different Barbie body types a couple years ago, right? There’s your normal body, but there’s also Curvy, Petite, and Tall now.

Around the same time, they came out with the Made to Move body, which has a ton more articulation than your normal Barbie.

Customizers love the Made to Move body, because hey, a lot more fun positions to put a doll in for photographing. But now Mattel has started making the Made to Move dolls with the additional body types from above. We’ve gotten a Curvy Made to Move doll so far, afaik.

For bullet/wound care

!Find a safe position or place to lay the person down to treat the wound!

Call for help but if there is none or it will take awhile here;

Keep the victim in place, make sure there is no wounds on the spine before lifting the wounded area up to prevent more blood loss

Wash the wound with water or any safe liquid you have

Act quick. Apply pressure to the wound to control bleeding and use a cloth or shirt as a makeshift bandage if you do not have one

Don’t remove bandages/cloth if they become bloody. Keep them on and keep covering the wound

Wrap cloth or dressing around wound tightly, but not too much that they don’t have circulation

Victims status

Prepare to wrap the person in a blanket and elevate their legs as they will go into traumatic shock, only elevate legs if you are sure the spine is not injured or if they have a torso wound

Re assurance, warmth and stay with the person at all times. Make sure they stay awake

Remember ABCDE

Check airway if they are talking or breathing normally they are probably okay. Check to make sure the airway is not obstructed

Monitor breathing, Is the person taking regular breaths? Can you see their chest rising and falling? If the person is not breathing, start mouth to mouth or rescue breathing etc

Check circulation. Apply pressure to any bleeding, then check the person’s pulse at the wrist or throat. Does the person have a discernible pulse? If not, begin CPR. Control any major bleeding.

Look for a disability. Disability refers to damage to the spinal cord or neck. Check to see if the person can move their hands and feet. If not, there may be an injury to the spinal cord. If the person shows signs of disability, you should refrain from moving them

Check for exposure. Look for an exit wound. Check the victim as thoroughly as possible for other wounds that you may be unaware of. Avoid completely undressing the victim before emergency help arrives as this may advance shock

P.S. When medical assistance arrives, be prepared to inform them what you have done so far.

It is very difficult to accurately assess the severity of a gunshot wound based upon what is visible on the victim; internal damage may be severe even in circumstances where the entrance and exit wounds are small.

Keep calm. If you panic you'll cause the victim to panic.

Pressure is key: it stops the flow and contains the blood to help create a blood clot.

If the victim appears to have a spinal cord injury, do not move them unless you absolutely must. If you must move the victim, be sure to keep the head, neck and back aligned.

Avoid blood-borne illnesses. Make sure any open wounds you may have do not come in contact with the victim's blood.

Even with the best first aid, gunshot wounds may be fatal.

If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubuskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.
