How to apply an emergency pressure bandage

  • Last reviewed: 19th September 2024

This video demonstrates how to apply an emergency pressure bandage to control severe bleeding (blood that is pumping from a wound) while you wait for your vet. This bandage must only be used in an emergency as it has the potential to cause damage if used inappropriately. Do not attempt to apply the bandage if the situation is too risky. Additionally, make sure to wear a helmet and appropriate footwear, as a wounded horse may behave unpredictably.
