I wish I could describe the method that I have used and taught others to use for years. And, it works like a charm. For those of us who remember the way you place your palm side of your hand on the forehead to start to position the head for CPR breaths can get that idea. Hold the nostrils shut and gently push the head down toward the chest. Hold that position til the dog takes a coupla breaths thru the mouth and the spasm seems to break. The collapse occurs because the walls of the trachea stick together and go into spasm. That position seems to separate the stuck linings or something.
But as was mentioned STAYING CALM COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE. |
