I wanted you to know that you helped me save my dog today!!! I had watched this video several months ago. My perfectly healthy 13yo dog, with no symptoms, suddenly went into distress, he stopped breathing, and his heart stopped. I immediately started check compressions. About the time I was about to start breathing for him, he fought his way back and began to recover. Took about 1/2 hour for him to recover, but for now, he is alive and I now have time to get him on medication to regulate his heart and buy him more time! Thank you!!!!

+Denise Parsons Wow, Denise, that is great to hear! We're so glad the video helped you and that your dog is doing okay. Make sure to discuss any concerns about your dog's health with your veterinarian.

+Denise Parsons Denise, we were so touched by your story that we were wondering if we might be able to share it on our Facebook page with a link to the video. We think it could help other pet owners understand the importance of CPR.

a few years ago I took a CPR class at our local Red Cross office. it was really great training. We have had many dogs over the years (currently 4) and I like to stay current on emergency treatment, just in case, though the only real emergencies we've had were one hit by a car, one stomach torsion & 2 strokes in older dogs. I highly recommend the Red Cross training...they have the dog dummies for practice, and good books and emergency kits for sale, too. Of course, you could also practice gently on your own pet (if you can get them to lay still long enough :-)

I think this is a great video and I would want someone to try and save my dog if a vet wasn't present...I would rather have a few broken ribs than a dead best friend. I'll post this on my pet meet up groups.

As we were told in CPR training, “ Doctors can fix ribs, they can’t fix dead.”

The only reason I'm here is that i was studying for human cpr and came across pet cpr. My very old and grey min-pin is lying next to me on the floor as usual and it's great to know that at least i have a chance to save his or another animals life if in cardiac arrest, although he'll probably sue me for a broken rib after he thanks me for saving his life! Thanks, Doc.

How do I perform cpr and the Heimlich on a stuffed dog of mine? How many times do I compress the chest and how fast or how hard should I push when doing compressions when doing cpr to be effective? Also does it matter if the dog I am using lungs do not inflate? Please respond to me real soon ok thanks again.

What good does it do to breathe into their nose? People exhale carbon, so aren't you just putting carbon into their lungs, and not oxygen?
@NamelessBody7 жыл бұрын
When you breathe, your lungs don't pull ALL of the oxygen out of the air. You can re-breathe the same breath several times before the oxygen levels are dangerously low. This is also why it's not immediately dangerous to re-breathe air from a paper back when hyperventilating. The oxygen levels slowly drop. In hyperventialtion, your blood oxygen is high, and you actually need more carbon, which is why you re-breathe. When your breath rate normalizes, you stop the re-breathing of old air and can breathe normally again. Likewise, in CPR, you might not give the dog 100% fresh air, but it's still 90% fresh by the time you exhale. I strongly recommend visiting a first aid course to answer these questions in detail, and to refresh your knowledge of CPR and other first aid tools. You don't know when you'll need it.

You still have about 18% Oxygen still in your exhaled air, of the 21% that the atmosphere contains on your inhale. Keep rescue breathing!!! It works!
