Hold the puppy upside down to help drain fluid and mucus from its nose and throat, have pup belly up, in a towel above my head and then swing it in a downward arc so that the fluid will be expelled. Rub the puppy very vigorously -- even roughly -- with a dry, clean towel until the puppy squeaks. This rubbing will both clean the puppy and stimulate it to start breathing.
