CPR is one of the emergency procedures that can save the pet's life! The American Red Cross and other health organizations encourage pet parents to learn how to administer CPR. For the well being of the pet, it would be advantageous if at least one family member knows how to administer CPR. CPR is for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This first aid procedure that entails chest compression and rescue breathing will revive pets that have suffered cardiac arrest. CPR will stabilize the condition of the pet until professional medical management is given.
Electrocution and ingestion of poisonous substances, ingestion of foreign object that can create an airway blockage can snuff the life of the pet. Prevention will naturally be the best bet to save the pet from these life threatening conditions. Dogs have an inquisitive and energetic nature and no matter how dog owners try to keep the pet safe, accidents will still happen. An owner's best option is to get ready for any eventuality by learning how to administer first aid treatments. CPR is one of the emergency management methods that can save the life of the pet. The skill of the pet owner to administer this first aid method can save the life of the pet and can give the pet owner the chance to enjoy the companionship of the pet for many more days. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation involves artificial respiration and chest compression. Just as with human CPR, a dog owner can do this emergency care by following the ABC process.
Step A is for airway. Check if the dog's airway is clear. Artificial respiration will be ineffective if the dog's airway is blocked. To check the airway, the dog's head must be extended, the mouth opened to be able to see if an object is creating a blockage. The blockage can be manually removed if possible or the Heimlich maneuver can be performed.
Rescue breathing can begin once the airway is cleared. While lying on his side, hold the mouth of the pet close and with the mouth over the dog's nose blow to make the chest move. Blow over the dog's nose once every three seconds until the dog is already breathing without help. Breathing at full lung capacity is necessary if the dog that is being resuscitated is large. Small dogs need a more gentle artificial respiration. The breathing is not aimed to inflate the lungs but only make the chest move.
Chest compression must be started if there is not heartbeat or pulse. Place the palm of the hand over the dog's heart. With the other hand placed on top of the other start compression. Compression must be done at the rate of 3 compressions every 2 seconds. It would be necessary to breathe on the nose after doing five chest compressions
