Dog CPR Techniques Video238

CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving technique that can be used to revive a dog that has stopped breathing or has no heartbeat. It is important to learn how to perform CPR on a dog in case of an emergency. This video will show you the steps of dog CPR, from checking for breathing and a heartbeat to performing chest compressions and rescue breathing.

Checking for Breathing and a Heartbeat

The first step in performing CPR on a dog is to check for breathing and a heartbeat. To check for breathing, look for chest movement or listen for breathing sounds. To check for a heartbeat, feel for a pulse on the inside of the dog's thigh, just behind the knee. If the dog is not breathing and does not have a heartbeat, begin CPR immediately.

Chest Compressions

To perform chest compressions, place the dog on its side on a flat surface. Place your hands on the dog's chest, just behind the front legs. Compress the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute. Each compression should be about 1 to 1.5 inches deep.

Rescue Breathing

After performing 30 chest compressions, open the dog's mouth and check for any obstructions. If there are any obstructions, remove them. Tilt the dog's head back and seal your mouth over the dog's nose. Give two slow breaths, each lasting about one second. Watch for the dog's chest to rise and fall with each breath.

Continue CPR

Continue alternating between 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until the dog starts breathing on its own or until help arrives. If the dog does not start breathing on its own after 5 minutes, stop CPR and seek veterinary help.

Tips

Here are some tips for performing CPR on a dog:
Stay calm and collected.
Use a firm, even pressure when performing chest compressions.
Do not give up if the dog does not start breathing on its own immediately.
Seek veterinary help as soon as possible.
