Wow what a scae! Im glad you knew what to do. I would probably be in such a panic I wouldnt know what to do so Ive written it down and put it with my first aide stuff. Im gad Marcel is okay now. Best wishes

what a horrific scare...good to hear Marcel has bounced back...thank you for the reminder and the post, I don't know how to do pet first aid but will now be learning.

Ann, I am so glad that Marcel is okay. I know it was a horrifying experience for Marcel and you. I give mine the C.E.T. chews also and I have never had a problem but it does worry me when the chews get to a smaller size. I will try to take the chews away from them once the chews start getting to small.

First time reading this, OMG, I'm sobbing just reading it. I cannot comprehend how that was for you and all the panic.
Thank you so much for posting, I'll review the procedure for sure.
Marcel is so lucky to have such a wonderful mama...you did wonderful and save his life!

I am so glad you were able to save him. I cannot imagine what you were going through.

Would it be possible to put this first aid link along with the Heimlich and rescue breathing instructions in the YT library?

Do you mean the 2 threads from the Sick/ER Section? If so, yes, I can definitely put them (make a copy) in The Library as well. Thank you for suggesting this!

I mean- the Heimlich Maneuver is already in the library, but perhaps the rescue breathing and First Aid training would be of bennefit in addition as an Emergency First Aid thread?

Hope that made some sort of sense.

Ann, will you post the link to the Red Cross as well? I bet a lot of people (like me) don't know that you can get Pet CPR training there.

I didn't have any specific threads in mind, but the CPR would be great copy for the library. I was more thinking of adding the resuce breathing with the Heimlich and posting the link to the First Aid training. If they saved your baby I think they're worth posting.

TresCutePiggies · 06-07-2010, 10:25 AM

OMG! Thank goodness he is okay thanks to some very quick thinking on your part. I don't even want to imagine. Please give him a little extra love today, though I'm sure you have that covered already.

Thank you so much for the reminder, and the link to the Red Cross. It looks like I just missed the most recent pet class in our area, but we will definitely sign up for the next one scheduled. I just printed out fresh copies of CPR/Rescue Breathing and the Heimlich Manuever for pet stickies. Now, I have them in two places around the house.

Just posted a link to the Pet CPR and First Aid Course in the Library. I really do think the class was great. I mean, even though I know how to do CPR on humans...it's just different w/ an animal and I'm *really* beyond grateful I took that class right now!
