Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Can we have a sticky for CPR ? FE: I saw this on one of your threads about CPR for Dogs - and thought it may be good in the emergency care section as a sticky .. People may read it and remember it in an emergency...I never knew this is how to do it till I saw this.... GIVING DOGS CPR • Check the animal for a pulse. If there is a pulse, chances are the animal has swallowed something. Moving puppy lungs may indicate a lodged object in the throat. • Check to see if there is anything in the animal's mouth. • Cup your hand around the dog's snout and breath air into his nose. This should help air get into his lungs easier. Be careful not to stick your face in the dog's face. Just because it's having problems breathing doesn't mean it can't bite. • If the dog needs CPR, compressions should be adminstered followed by a count of two and continued in the same pattern. Let the animal's lungs expand before pressing on its chest. • Get the dog to emergency care as soon as possible. LEARNING THIS COULD SAVE A DOGS LIFE !

I took firstaid for dogs when attending training - and CPR is very handy. Also if your dog gets something stuck in it's throat clap your hands on each side of its stomach, as if clapping it's lungs (Not too hard). That will most times make the air in the lungs press out the stuck object. If that doesn't help stick a finger in it's throat. Sometimes this makes the dog gag and get the item out and sometimes you have to fysically remove the object.

| Heimlich on such a little dog is dangerous because it could break their ribs. The clapping exercise is a replacement for the heimlich, and should be safe if done correctly.
