How to do CPR on a Dog

In this lesson, we'll be taking you through a cat and dog CPR demonstration. Obviously, watching the corresponding video for this lesson and practicing along with a stuffed animal will be the best approach to learning these techniques, and you should consider doing so until you feel comfortable performing high-quality CPR.

If I'm ever in this situation, I'll do the chest compressions to 'Staying Alive' rather than 'Another One Bites the Dust', thank you 😅

[@user-hd2di6ob3x]

AHHAHAHAHAHA

[@mariebossard1640]

Thank you!

[@ComradeDt]

Such a good boi/girl

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥You are doing it on the right side and I was told to do the compressions on the left side.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

And she was breathing in as you were pushing down…??

[@DHSFEMA]

Shouldn’t u stop compression to give breaths?

[@zeroblu3361]

"Another one bites the dust".... really? -_-

[@moonagedaydream-ohyeah]

If i'm doing CPR I'm definitely going with "Stayin Alive" over "Another One Bites the Dust" 🤔

Is a dog's heart on the right chest?

[@joeforce2551]

Please wake up, Chester! 😢

[@alayna2250]

I think the dog died at the long talk

[@_ambience101]

The dog has the same name as me

[@victoriafontana3520]

What about CPR for a cat.????

[@nnoodlebird]

Same as small dogs like the video mentioned!

[@britishknight6037]

Poor choice of songs.

[@saltysailor141]

Right? Wow… 😂

[@fasolashow550]

But dogs can rarely rarely have heart attacks. Their hearts are highly vascularized and their coronary arteries have more alternative routes. Soo what could CPR be good for for dogs?

[@procpr]

For the rare time that they might have a heart attack.

[@blahblah159357]

This is the stupidest comment I've ever read

[@DianaGascon]

If the dog is not breathing or doesn't have a heartbeat. This can occur for a number of reasons, including trauma, choking or illness. BTW, dogs can suffer from cardiac arrest like humans can!

[@freddiewood3278]

A common confusion is that cardiac arrest and heart attack are the same thing. A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is the death of heart tissue due to a clot stopping or highly reducing blood flow in a coronary artery. This itself can cause cardiac arrest but they’re not the same thing and there are several other causes of cardiac arrest (for example hypothermia). Cardiac arrest is the name given to when the heart stops beating for itself, this is what warrants CPR and other forms of resuscitation. People and animals can be suffering from a heart attack for several hours before it escalates into cardiac arrest. So the alternative vascular pathways is an interesting difference regarding myocardial infarction, but there could be many many other causes of cardiac arrest in both humans and dogs where CPR and resuscitation attempts can be successful in restoring life. Hope this helps with any confusion :)
