Had to do this today this morning on my dog, he chocked on a biscuit finally got the biscuit out but he had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped I watched a video like this but a few years ago glad I did, I got him back vet has ordered rest and some meds for a few days but he's fine
Thanks I was so calm I couldn't believe it but later had a few nasty flashbacks I'm telling everyone to watch these videos it could save a dogs life asking vets to put a chart up in waiting room and pet shops ive told about 100 people not one so far knows it
I’ve had my puppy for 2 months, he for the most part is now chewing his food when we give him meals however when we are doing training and I give him a treat I’ve notice like 10-20 seconds after I give it to him he will cough and then start to chew and swallow again. I just hope this is a puppy thing and he grows out of it because I’m so scared I’m gonna have him choking on something 😩. I was watching a the Heimlich maneuver for dogs and then saw this come up I thought that cpr would be good to learn too so I clicked this. I can’t even imagine I’m so sorry 😢
Wow glad you saved his life. How did you get the biscuit out? The heimlich worked? Or did you stick your finger and swipe? If you did the former, how many times did you do it before biscuit came out? TIA. I'm just trying to learn more about this and be extra prepared.
Excellent demonstration. I'm a human CPR instructor in California but wasn't sure of the protocol for CPR on pets. A good to know skill for pet owners. Thank you for your service. Mike
Former medic. Exactly. The stats of bringing them back when witnessed are worse than humans. Heinlich, watched it yesterday. I have used it in the past. They work.
I work in EMS and if there are no human patients, we can initiate life saving measures for domestic animals. Good to know that it's nearly the same for animals as it is for humans.
Lost my dog 2 years ago. It just laid down and died in front of us. It was awful, I didn't know what to do. hopefully I never have to try this on our new dog. But I have the knowledge now. Thank you!
[Sounds like what happened to yours, happened to ours just a few days ago ...] Well, I wished I would have watched a video like this. I lost my dog on 9-17-2024, and I didn't know how to do CPR. Yet, I'm not sure it would have helped. My dog was normal, went outside and barked at neighbor's kid, then did a cough or two. Then, just collapsed and everything shut off. No movement, no breathing, nothing. So, very sad now. Wife and I wished we could have helped her, but we think it might not have helped. NO SIGNS as to why it happened. But, I wish we would have tried.
I wish I had watched this video before and learned what is shown. I lost my Dobermann yesterday while on a walk with what seemed to be a heart attack and didn’t know how to save her. I failed. I miss her terribly.
I'm really sorry that your dog didn't make it. That must have been horrifying for you. I'm so sorry!! Please don't blame yourself. I'm on this channel today so I can educate myself and I've had dogs for years! You're here now and thats something to praise yourself for. You will be well prepared next time if you're in a situation like that again whether it's your dog or another person's dog (or cat.) I hope you heal over this and are able to open your home and heart for another dog when the time is right. I wish you well💕
Cookie Dee my heart goes out to you...i recently almost lost my dog and it was horrible cuz I’ve lost pets in the past and its one of the hardest things you’ll go through...however i believe its still better to have loved and lost then to just avoid the heart break...it will take a while but at some point you’ll realize the time you had out weighs the pain of your loss....by far...it just doesn’t feel like that right now...the universe will give you what you need when you need it....
My Respects, solid work right there. I have two doubts. 1.Why the compressions are being given on the right hand side and not in the center or left hand side. 2. What if the cause of cardiac arrest is choking, if you could also include about finger sweep in the videos for animals and humans, in addition how to finger sweep in case of dogs and does heimlich's maneuver works when the subject is clinically dead as we would only 8-10 minutes. Looking forward to hear from you.
Aww love this video!! Thank you so much! I enjoy watching you in action. Smart, clear and most of all considerate.. and dashingly handsome. Thank you for bringing us such an important tool!!
This is so informative and thorough. Well done. Thank you! I have 3 deep chested Basset Hounds 55, 65, and 68 pounds. Do their chest size apply to the large breed technique?
Should you be expecting the rib cage to break with canine CPR as it often does with humans (30% of the time)? Is the 'side' compression on the rib cage less stressful to the structure than the head-on CPR we do it with humans?
Thankyou so much my puppy is very big and sometimes she eats to fast and starts to choke and freakout if she ever stops breathing i need to be able to help shes my best friend and i love her so much i cant handle loosing her like that
Love that you guys help people by showing effective CPR. However, my dog was choking just now and the ads kept us from seeing the proper procedure in this instance. We think she swallowed a tennis ball. 😢it would’ve been nice to not have ads interrupt.
When doing CPR, you probably will injure/break the ribs but it's really a very secondary concern. You gotta keep oxygen going to the brain or the tissue will die.
Many years ago, our little fox terrier was running alongside a 4 wheeled mule on our farm. It somehow got struck by it and died. My husband was beside himself in grief as was I, but the little fella didn't appear to have any physical injuries we could see. I wonder if performing CPR on him would have revived him, I guess that is something we'll never know.
Sometimes, there is nothing you can do. My dog passed just a few days ago (09-17-2024), and I think she had some type of aneuyrism. She was normal, barking, and just collapsed. Dead. So, I don't think CPR can revive them in all situations.
Stayin Alive by BeeGees is only 103 bpm. Although it works for both rates of humans, dogs, and cats - it's important to emphasize that the song is NOT 120 bpm, as some learners may go a little slower, not keeping the correct pace.
Thank you, that was a great information about chest compresions! I only did not get from here how the breaths should go; it seemed short and thus fast and strong, while I thoulf it should be calm and longer. Also, important not to do it too fast and not to o much, not to damage the lungs? or maybe I mix something up.
Thank you. Could the sternum be damaged in this CPR? So would it always be good to take the dog/cat to the Vet to check any damage from either the problem or the CPR? Thank you for this invaluable info.
In humans, around 30% of successful CPR treatments included broken sternums. It is not a requirement of CPR to break the patient's sternum, but it will happen in some cases and it is not a cause to stop CPR compressions. I would be more worried about breaking the ribs in a dog than the sternum. The ribs are the main bone you’d be pushing on rather than the sternum in a dog, because of the way their anatomy is structured. After successfully resuscitating an animal, or human, it is 100% recommended to see the professionals. I’m studying to be a vet so I hope this helped!

I think everyone who has a dog should check their heartbeat asap, while the dog is healthy. That way they’ll know what to compare with. Also, I would think if anything is stuck in the dog’s mouth. One thing I’m curious of is ‘how much’ breath to blow into the dog.
Hey just wondering, what kind of CPR should i do on 25kg siberian husky since their chest tends to be bigger and stronger since of theirs genetic history of shed pulling, do i go with the large dog CPR or try to find the heart?
I NEED to ask: Will this procedure be advantagous for my dog, or will I be better off just leting him die should he go into cardiac failure? Reason: I have a 6 year old Dogue de Bordeaux who has SAS (Sub Aortic Stenosis). He is on Atenolol (Beta Blockers) and everyday he gets worse with exercise (takes longer to recover after a walk). I do know that one day, he may just ''keel over'' and suffer sudden death through heart failure. But, if he did ''keel over'', would it be beneficial to try and 'revive him', only to survive or recover and then it happens again in days or weeks later....or, is it kinder to just have him suddenly drop dead, and NOT do anything at all, and let him pass? This conundrum bothers me on a daily basis and keeps me awake at night not knowing what the best thing to do would be? I would love a reply. Many thanks, Dave (Dogue)
As an additional question, how do you seal a very large mouth to give breaths? His head is huge and the large flues alongside makes it hard to seal the mouth completely. I ask this, as my vet just gave basic info that would be more suitable for a _small_ breed. I understand there are different points on the chest to place the hands on a small breed versus a large breed. Where do I put my hands? Midway along the chest, or direct behind the front left leg where the heart is? (I always assumed the closest place to the heart is laying the dog on his right side, and going in (and across 2 inches) behind the front left shoulder blade??
I watched a different video but same with this video: Cut to the chase! My dog died because these videos can be explained pronto instead, the time it takes to see the video its too late for the dog, just say: where to compress, how, and how to breath inward . My dogs dead, these videos are not helpful
they should be lying on their right side. it's also not a problem to have them facing toward you. makes it a little easier to breathe into but a lot of videos do face away..
