We would all like to think "our" pet is the best but if your leg was broken you can't say how you would react when someone tried to assist you. Movement and stress aggravate the pain already associated with a trauma. For your safety and that of your pets please muzzle your pet "BEFORE" you begin any treatments.
Also take the time to check your environment. Is it safe? Administer care only if the conditions are safe for you to do so.

Step 1 - Make a loop in the center of a leash, a piece of ribbon, gauze
Step 2 - Put over muzzle with cross on top
Step 3 - Under the muzzle crisscross then pull back to behind head
Step 4 - Tie with a bow (do not knot)
Your pet should be able to breathe fine with this muzzle on. You want it tight enough to stay on but not so tight that you can't slip a finger between the red ribbon and your pets muzzle.

Practicing on your pet while help you to become familiar with the technique and your pet will become accustomed to the procedures too. This means when an emergency occurs you won't be adding the extra stress this could cause if it was an unfamiliar role for you both to be in.
