Do you know what to do if your puppy is suddenly lying on the ground after being seriously injured by a car accident, poisoned, electric shock, or is choking? I realize that the last thing you want to do is imagine your lovable pet being hurt in such a fashion, however, accidents do happen and if you are not prepared to administer basic first aid to your dog then it may be the last time you ever see him again should an unfortunate injury take place.
In today's article we are going to discuss basic artificial respiration as well as CPR that you can give your dog in case the situation calls for it. Please know that the following steps are just basic guidelines and you are encouraged to take a small class on first aid so that you can be better equipped to handle an accidental injury to your puppy or dog.
1. The first thing you need to do upon finding your puppy injured and lying on the floor is to check for his heartbeat. If you cannot pick up a heartbeat then you must administer CPR immediately. Here are the basic steps
a) Place your hand on one side of your puppy's chest. If he is a large dog then roll him on one side of his body.
b) Then start compressing the area of the heart on his chest in short bursting movements, one compression for each second.
c) Administer one breath of air every six seconds (follow steps 2 6 below). If successful, your puppy will spring back to life.
2. The second first aid tip on your checklist is to check to see if there are any objects or obstructions in your dog's mouth. If you notice any blood or mucus, clear it out as best possible.
3. In order to make sure that the puppy's airway is clear, pull the tongue out of his mouth. Then shut his mouth gently.
4. Next pull the lips over your dog's mouth and make them secure by wrapping your hand around the mouth and under the chin.
5. With your other hand, create a funnel to the dog's nostrils which should be as airtight as possible.
6. Now slowly but smoothly take a deep breath and exhale the air gently into his nose. Repeat this breathing action on your puppy every six seconds.
