How to do CPR in Dogs

[@dallyshallow6212]

"if the dog tries to bite you while you're checking his mouth, he probably doesn't need CPR." i LOVE this guy!

[@SuperShandy777]

[@rainyrainold]

I saved my sister's dog's life with CPR after she jumped over a small wall with her leash secured. My daughter ran in and told me that June (dog's name) was dead. She looked dead, and wasn't breathing. I performed CPR and she came around. We threw her in the car to take her to the vet. Besides her eye sticking out a lot more than it used to, she was fine. Thank you for teaching people CPR for dogs, it's incredibly similar to human CPR, and this video could really help save a dog's life.

[@pangolin-o3s]

that's such a sweet story❤ thankyou for saving her life,🥰

[@rachelgirky6837]

sir, I'm a junior in high school and I took a medical classes but we only learned to do cpr on a human. I wish I had learned for animals too. I'm glad I found this video but I wish I found it sooner. just last night my dog had a heart attack or somthing I'm still don't know what happened. and I thought I know what to do but the second I got to the scene I froze because I did not know the first thing about compressions on a dog, I did what I thought was right but for breaths I had no clue about, sadly I failed and I no longer have my best friend, so I appreciate this video cause I know now so if my other dogs have a problem I can be ready.

Even if you did know, the survival rate for dogs (and cats I believe) are extremely low and without vasopressors, I believe it's even harder to resuscitate.

[@sami3731]

Thank you! Also I've heard to cup your hands around the dogs lips when giving breaths (without blocking the nostrils of course) so the air doesn't escape through the mouth. 😊And when you give 2 breaths, take a fresh breath of air so there is less CO2

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

Yes - cupping the nostrils to close the lips does help. I show this in the CPR course I teach.

You don't stop until someone else takes over (at the hospital) or you give up (no response). There is no definite time. In people you continue until exhausted or you know it won'r work (hard decision).

[@orangehound389]

Thank you this was very helpful 🧡

[@Donnyspacebar]

I am always going to remember this and watch this video over and over again but does this also work for suffocation?

[@SanzyFrostwolf]

2 years late but maybe someone reads this and is not sure themselves. Yes you still perform CPR after suffocation. If something is stuck in the airway there is a good chance you can dislodge it with the compression or the respiration. Better to have the object in the lung than a blocked airway so don't be scared of the respiration when something is blocking the airway.

Thank you!! This is really helpful!

[@kidinabstract]

I don't know if it's changed for animals, but I know for humans you no longer do a blind finger sweep if you can't see what they've aspirated on because it can push it further back. I'd definitely hesitate doing a blind finger sweep on an animal for the same reason.

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

This hasn't changed and it's because of the anatomy. In most dogs, you can't see to the back of the oral cavity. So, we need to go blind to do it at all.

[@alfieacreations]

Someone please answer this question, wile doing CPR on a dog how do you know if the heart starts beating again? Cuse we don't got time to check the pulse wile doing CPR so how do you know if the heart starts beating again ??

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

What you'll see is the animal coming around with little movements or breathing. If you see that, take the time to check the pulse - it should be there. If there is no response evident, continue!

[@akongas]

Thank you so much for this! Really helpful! Would just like to confirm if the dog needs to be put on their right side so their heart is at the top? Or can it be any side? Cheers!

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

+Aiden Kongas It doesn't matter which side is up. The heart spans from one side of the chest to the other when it is compressed.

[@akongas]

+Dog Training Academy thank you for confirming, appreciate it.

[@meganmaywald4526]

Actually a lot of veterinarians and sites say to lay them on their right side so when you do compressions, it's closer to their heart.

ACE Academy for Canine Educators ok thank you 🙏

[@SilverRoadZ]

I wish I found this sooner my dog passed away from suffocating from her saliva, I tried to do some sort of cpr on her but clearly it looks like I was doing it wrong. But it was somewhat enough to almost make it to the hospital. Sadly she passed in my arms while getting to the emergency room

[@silencerasta]

what if the air channel is closed? I mean, what if, even if you blow you cant see the chest moving?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

That would be bad news. Then the air can't get in and, without that, resuscitation will fail. If that occurs, you push on the chest (hard) to push the blockage out or you get a veterinarian to open the airway surgically.

[@lizmorales4369]

Thank you 👍👍🖤

[@kaustubhsharma193]

Sir.... With due respects I want to know that Will we have this much time to check all these things...... I mean if we starts checking all these things we might run out of time to save the dog

To check only takes seconds. But, if you are unsure, start the CPR. You have nothing to lose.

[@kathleenlyford1069]

Thank you!!

[@doughboy294]

What do you do if you do not have an open airway? This video only details the how to with an open airway.

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

Hopefully you are never in that position. With an airway you can't "open", you need to do a tracheotomy. That is way beyond a short lesson on KZbin.

[@ChadGPT_5]

how much pressure for a small dog?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

You want to be gentle yet still compress the chest adequately to squeeze the heart inside. In sounds weird, but try this on a stuffed animal and that will give you the feel.

[@LuisTheBarberTV]

Just got into a full panic attack with my puppy, was about to haul ass to the emergency room! Thankfully he’s ok!

[@zackzz2105]

Believe it over not I never thought about giving a dog cpr. It never flew over my head until I saw a view of a owner and dog in the water. The owner threw the stick into the river and the accidentally drunk too much water which caused him to drown. In the comments below he explained what happen afterwards saying he gave his dog cpr and is fine. That’s when I got curious and now here I am.

[@saigethomas1801]

what do you mean scoop out whatever is in there?spit?

[@bobbye5554]

Saig e the purpose of scooping the back of the throat is just in case your pet swallowed a toy or any other object that could have gotten stuck in the throat causing breathing difficulties.

[@vanity68]

I’m so so sorry. That’s terrible. I feel for you.

[@stevenanderson784]

Way to complicated for the average, CPR trained person. Simplify it so that it is practical to use in an emergency: 100-120 reps per minute, 1/3 - 1/2 depth of the chest for each compression, and compress the area near the heart or the widest part of the chest. The dog should be laying on his right side. Breaths should be thru the nose - 30 to 2 ration of compressions to breaths.

[@todd68generato]

I just did cpr on a dog but not the right way. I did it like i do on humans. Unfortunately she died. I think the cause was cardiac arrest

[@Andre-rc3qg]

What if there is not an open airway?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

Then you are indeed in trouble. You need to try harder to dislodge the blockage or if there is nothing physically in the way that can be moved, do a tracheotomy. That is more the job of the veterinarian.

[@Andre-rc3qg]

ACE Academy for Canine Educators Thanks. How exactly would you "try harder"? Do you mean with the chest compressions?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

This is what I suggest... Make doubly sure there is nothing in the mouth. Open the mouth fully and sweep the back. Put more pressure on the chest and abdomen - you are doing a Heimlich in reality. This way you can force any blockage out. The key is this - if you can't get the blockage undone and an airway opened, the dog will most likely die. You have nothing to lose by being aggressive with your thrusts.

what about when to stop?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

You stop when the dog has recovered, you are at the veterinary hospital and they take over, or you've been doing it for a decent time (no set time here) and there is no response. In people, you continue until you can't do it any more.

how to do it on a sighthound then?

[@originalaceacademyforcanin8613]

Because of how the chests are built in these breeds, you'd do it on their side (lateral recumbence) with cardiac compressions.

[@patriciapt]

and also compress about 1/2 to a 1/3 of the width of the chest on that cardiac region? because it looks very fragile and small in whippets (i've 2 dogs)
