NOW LET'S LEARN HOW TO PERFORM CPR FOR PETS!

Check Breathing & Pulse

Check pulse using your middle & index finger below the wrist, inner thigh, below the ankle or where left elbow touches the chest.

Look for Other Warning Signs

-  Gums and lips would appear gray-colored

-  Pupils will be dilated and not responsive to light

Start Compression if No Pulse

Lay animal on right side and place hands over ribs where it's elbows touches the chest. Begin compression. Do not give compression if your pet has pulse.

If Not Breathing Give Breath To An Animal

Cats & Small Dogs

Place your mouth over its nose and mouth to blow air in

Medium - Large Dogs

Place mouth over its nose to blow air into it

Heimlich Maneuver

If breath won't go in, airway might be blocked. Turn animal upside down, with it's back against your chest. Wrap your arms around the animal and clasp your hands together just below its rip cage (since you're holding your pet is upside down, it's above the rib cage, in the abdomen) Using both arms, give 5 sharp thrusts to the abdomen. Then, check its mouth or airway for the object. If you see it, remove it and give 2 more rescue breaths
