|
How To Give Artificial Respiration
- First check for voluntary breathing.
- Place pet on it's chest, hold jaws closed with one hand.
- Place your mouth over the nostrils.
- Blow a breath into the nostrils steadily for 2-3 seconds. The amount of air you blow inshould be enough to expand the rib cage.
- Remove your mouth and allow air to exit the lungs.
- If your pet begins to vomit, elevate your pets hind quarters above the level of the headto assist drainage.
- Immediately go to the veterinarian!
