Pet CPR

[chessiecat2000]

Good job, thanks for this valuable info

[juliuscrister]

1 my dog gave birth to a litter of 6 puppies, on the second day, i checked how they are doing and found out that one was unconscious probably accidentally lain over by his mother. the pup is still warm but his face is already pale, i tried doing my own idea of cpr on him, i dont know if i made progress. his face was already starting to go back to normal, but he urinated, my mother told me that once anybody already urinates that means his dead. so i gave up. i feel sorry for the pup.

[MsPawsibilities]

Always good to have the knowledge in advance... hopefully I'll never have use for this information but it certainly doesn't hurt to be educated!

[hundeallerlei]

thxs for this video

[DiTzBrAiN02]

When you think about it, this is really similar to CPR on a human. Thank you for uploading this!

[mrdefkon1]

Yeah this is great. I work for city vet in Dallas and will be going through a pet cpr course that my manager is certified to teach here in about 2-3 weeks. :)

[nirmalbk]

lol



[WateryIce54321]

my yorky almost drowned in my pool today so i figured i should watch this in the event something similar happens again in my lifetime >.<

random knowledge may come up in any place or any time

[ilovebeer805]

I wish I saw this earlier. I just lost my dog today from drowning. This is the worst day of my life. She was not only my dog but also my best friend . I can not ever shed tears anymore. Please dog owners watch this video. It can some day save your pets life. I just looked it up, and I wish I did before I lost my best friend.

... I wish you had one bit that goes through the routine in one motion... And what about smaller dogs? Like a pom? Do I just use my fingers for compression as I would for a baby?

[goolsby87]

How often does a dog code? I would think that was more of a symptom of heart attacks which I would think would happen more in humans. Has anyone had to use this? I've only heard of it during a surgery, in a vet's office.

[TheGreatCrow]

Thank you! I hope I don't have to do this to my dog, but it is good information to know.

[SBombForever]

What do you do after the CPR?

[crackorjackzors]

@SBombForever If CPR doesn't work after being repeated, the dog is dead.

[thebeautyofTiamat]

thanks for this informative video !

[ThePoeticAngel]

I wish I knew about this earlier because of what happened to my dog :(

[2fye4words]

thank you so much, my dog is old and fragile and i want him to last as long as he can, and being old he might get himself into trouble and require help , this is one of the videos i'm watching on dog safety and saving, thank you so much for the opportunity to save my dogs life, i love him and i've known him my entire life, thank you so much for the knowledge that could save his life one day, i dont know what i would do with out him. thank you

[IGniTuv]

are there any changes if performing cpr on a cat?

[lifethroughmylens1]

Very cool video, I learned alot...Thanks.

[Donnylutz00]

Wonderful information! Thank you!

[hottpinkklove]

Pardon my ignorance, but would this technique also apply to cats?

[fuzzybearkisses]

This is saved in my favorites and I review it daily to be ready just in case.

[bslove1016]

This video was very very informative and very easy to understand. Thank you so much :-)

[iceboxlabradors2]

Thank you! this video is very very helpful!

[sarah082485]

Thank you so much! You never know when this may be useful. I want to be prepared if I see an animal/human that needs CPR. I'm already CPR certified for humans, but not pets yet. Does anyone know where I might get a CPR certification for pets?

[Skunky93]

@sarah082485 Red cross offers first aid classes for pets that includes cpr. :)

[teresatenino]

Awesome Video Thank you

[erratichippie]

What if they are lying on their left side? Is it safe to move them?

[Rotties9292]

@erratichippie since the heart is located on the right side (34 seconds into the video) you would have to roll the dog over. I would think yes it's ok to move them over onto their right side.

[pace7759]

@erratichippie yes

[Die4Pleasure]

@erratichippie

Its fine to roll the dog if he's on his left side.... as long as he does not have a spine or head injury.

[FigielkaUK]

Thanks a lot! 

[Aecyin]

cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration/mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing are different.

[iggiesrule]

very helpful to know how to do CPR on a dog :) 

[Pippip3030]

Thank you thank you thank you for teaching me dog CPR .

Very helpful.

Just saw "Inside edition" TV where during an obedience class a 4 yr old Boxer collapsed. The instructor gave CPR, all recorded on video. The dog was not breathing or responsive. After 2 minutes of CPR the dog started breathing on its own. She was a little dazed at first but made a full recovery. The dog was later diagnosed with a heart condition and should avoid strenuous exercise. That instructor saved the animal. It was amazing. The owner was a young girl, in hysterics watching the whole time.

[LFG22124]

@gmcjetpilot Actually, that video is a good example of what NOT to do. Compare this video with that one, and you'll see what I mean. No one checked for a pulse on that dog, or even checked closely for breathing. And the "hero" who started CPR did it incorrectly. Wrong rhythm, wrong rate, incorrect positioning for mouth-to-snout...he couldn't have done it worse.

[K0vuk]

@LFG22124 He saved the dog, that's what matters.

[gizmo33rd]

thank i hope i never need to do this but if i do i hope not to forget

[bluesalticid]

I actually took a Dog CPR class offered by the Red Cross in Jefferson City, MO. It was a really great class and I commend the Red Cross for offering it--I always have at least 3 dogs of my own and sometimes foster dogs, so this training might help me save a life one day.

[Button36]

My puppy got into rat poison. We're not sure if it was accidental (something in the home) or deliberate. I cleaned out our storage room last summer to convert it into a computer room and I took out all the rat poison. I cleaned it thoroughly and I can't see how I could miss any. Dog CPR is really good to know because strychnine poisoning causes respiratory arrest. My baby is fine now after having an IV, enema, dexamethasone inj and oxygen!

[threetime1]

Wish I would have thought to search for this before I needed to save my best friends life

[KkF00]

Very helpful, thanks.

[Buhnanah]

I tried this on my little sister for fun.

[Rattleheadddddd]

@spastic505 you are my hero

[Talexa66]

Awesome Video!!

[allaboutdog01]

Thank you for making this video. Its really a big help especially us dog lovers. I never thought we could do this to our own dog.. Is there any tools that we can use to CPR dogs?

[themutherfunkinDme]

to drawn out to remember, watch the beginning to learn how to locate pulse then 2:45 for actual cpr demo, but very helpful to know as a dog owner

[avi0910]

Thank you a lot for this great demonstration, I love my pet and I know I have to be prepare, you never know... 

[gr83needlenoses]

Thank you for posting this clear and concise video on canine cpr. My 3yo greyhound collapsed suddenly 2 days ago and had and erratic heart rhythm. My husband and I performed cpr for 20 minutes. We lost our sweet, silly Frannie but take some comfort in knowing we tried our best to save her. I am going to link this to our greyhound rescue adopter's forum.

[jeferrell]

Thanks. Very helpful. I will watch this till I know how to do it correctly. I could have saved several of my animals possibly.

[happyfeet119]

Appreciate you sharing and posting this information!

[adelarosa605]

I wish I would of seen this video three days ago, I would of saved my Boxer with this knowledge and would't have died in my arms in front of my son. Thanks for the video, now I know for next time. Knowledge is everything.

[outofthedoghouse]

Great - no nonsense demo. Would like to see one from her on choking and how to help with big and small dogs.

[susynstecchi]

Thank you for a pet CPR video that was well done, comprehensive and not too long. I hope I never need to perform pet CPR, but I love my dogs and would do anything to save them. Thanks again, Elaine!

[love80121]

Actually my friends mother happened to watch a program on Animal Planet that showed how to do Pet CPR and their Jack Russell's heart stopped a month later...She did the CPR and brought him back to life and he lived 2 more years...passing away at 19 years old. So yeah...I think this is good for any pet owner to know...especially if your dog has a bad heart.

[tobyrat23]

God forbid I spell something wrong. I think most people knew I ment ASYSTOLE.

I am aware Asystole (& other pulseless rhy.'s) are non-shockable and that you need Epi/Atropine to try to bring the patient into a cardiac rhythm, most likly V-Fib, which is then shockable with the D-Fib.

I understand what I said was unclear, however it wasn't "completely wrong". I am just trying to tell people that doing CPR on their dead dog, does not mean the dog will come to back to life and start running around

[tobyrat23]

When an animal (or human) has absolutly no heart rhythm (asysole) CPR alone will NOT bring them back to life. They will need defibrilation and even then chances of restoring a normal heart beat (sinus rhythm) after 5 minutes is pretty much nothing.

[fieldartillery13b]

@tobyrat23

which is true. I have performed CPR on many during Medical Asst. through the Fire Dept. And many of those times sadly, it just wasnt good enough

[Princessnancy21]

Thankkss this is the best cpr for dogs video on here.

you explained it well.

(: Thank you.

[jfw4111]

Watch this video and pass it along - IT WORKS! My husband saved our dachshund after she fell in our swimming pool by performing CPR. I watched him literally bring her back to life. Amazing and worth learning about.

[1saucybtch]

WOW!

[mishka1305]

i am very impressed! thanks for this video!

[sethbergs]

Thank You!

[TribalKris10]

I've never heard of the abdominal squeeze and have had to do cpr on my dog before and it was successful w/out it. But good to know I guess.

[mooglely]

Pulse location was very helpful!!

[whooo222]

1 BREATH, 15 COMPRESSIONS, 1 ABDOMINAL SQUEEZE 15.1.1

1. Place pet on their right side, BACK LEANING AGAINST YOU, Their HEAD FACING your RIGHT

2. Check for Pulse & Breathing

3. Maintain an OPEN AIRWAY & HOLD MOUTH CLOSED

4. Give full breath by exhaling fully into pets nasal passages making sure the lungs expand and chest rises.

5. Give 15 full CHEST COMPRESSIONS in 10 SECONDS; Ratio 15-1

6. SQUEEZE ABDOMINAL AREA forcing air back into HEART

7. Continue CYCLE until breathing on own

[lazylaurablue]

Thanks for this. I hiope that next time I am unfortunate enough to be at the scene of a car/cat collision, I will be able to try and save the little animal - as well as comforting the poor driver, that is!

[tobyrat23]

I do not agree with the ratios, but other than that, great vid.

[PringlePoirot]

Thanks so much for this. I just had to perform emergency cpr on my little dog. It worked but I just wanted to check and see if I had done it right. I didn't know about the abdomen squeezing. This is a very informative video. 5 stars

[chenrik]

Thanks for a very informative video. As a medical student I now know the differences between pet  CPR and human CPR. The abdominal squeeze was a total Surprise to me.

I teach first aid and CPR on a voluntary basis. I will include this video as a bonus in my classes.

[krmNcita1219]

thank u!!!.. very useful.. i really hope never have to do it.. but very important to know it..

´cause i didnt even know you can do CPR on a dog..

[MIORIGAMI]

this is SOOOO appreciated! thank you. I took notes..hope I never need it, but it's nice that someone, other than most people on here, took it seriously. My babies are so precious to me. I'm glad someone understands that.

THANK YOU again, from the bottom of my heart.

[gracieflo101]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

[D9Kid]

thank you very much for that video, it is helping me in my studies, cheers

[madyson3]

What a great video!!! Thanks so much!

[Labadorers]

As a fan of the Animal Oxygen masks being donated to firefighters across the Nation this too is so important for anyone that owns a dog to know. One might think you can't do it but in an emergency a calm head and the knowledge just might save your pet. Thank you!

[CaptainsLog20]

Now this is one topic I missed on Captain's Log TV Show. THANKS for sharing this information with all of us worldwide VIA the Internet and YouTube! BTW, I just posted my 1/2 hour show with the USPS. In 1987 I asked them to use video more, now we all can VIA the Internet.

Your newest subscriber,
