I'm so glad to hear your story!!! Of that you used it and your boy is fine

With small dogs and especially pups you do not need to give them the full air of your breathe when you exhale.

Our lungs hold much more air than their little lungs.

A good way to tell if you are getting enough air in is to position them so you can see their little chest.
As you give them your little puff of air you should see the chest rise slightly.

If not, don't blow harder but position pup again GENTLY(we all know Yorkies have long necks/throats so don't over extend their head or neck.

Be sure the tongue hasn't slipped back against the back of throat and is obstucting breathe. Try again if you feel a good deal of resistance check again to see that something is not lodged in their little windpipe.

I have seen pups revive up to about 20-25 minutes of CPR.
Remember to check for a pulse after breathes do not chest compress is there is a pulse and again you only need to compress the chest in a pup less than an inch. Use two fingers only they are pups.

Hoping you never need to know but learn anyway-Be Prepared

Terrific Information. I am a RRT and also work in medical field and I am BCLS/ACLS certified. Great article

Also, anyone reading this should learn CPR, because you never know, it could save the life of a loved one.

Thank you for posting this! I know the regular CPR but they usually don't cover pets when you do the training

Anyway, I printed off a couple of copies and laminated them. I hope I never have to use it, but I feel better just having it for those "just in case"
