Pet first aid insurance guide

Artificial resuscitation

1. Check if the animal is breathing by looking and listening.
2. Check airway by pulling the tongue forward and, if necessary, removing any mud, debris or other obstruction.
3. If the animal does not start breathing naturally, check the heartbeat. If you cannot detect a heartbeat, then lay the dog on its side and apply intermittent pressure to the chest.
4. If the above was unsuccessful pull the pet's head forward and extend neck to straighten it. Then close its mouth and blow vigorously and hard up the nose to inflate the chest until the pet begins to gasp.
