The following video is not an instructional video but a real life situation where a dog suffering from cardiac arrest was rescued in front of his desparate owner by (again) a knowledgeable bystander.
This video will send shivers down your spine, at least it did with me
The 4 steps to perform CPR on a dog are:
For Medium & Large Dogs (over 30 pounds)
- Lay your dog on her side on a flat surface.
- Place one hand on top of the other over the widest portion of the rib cage, not over the heart.
- Keeping your arms straight, push down on the rib cage. Compress the chest ¼ of its width. Squeeze and release rhythmically at a rate of 80 compressions per minute.
- Continue CPR until your dog breathes on his own and has a steady heartbeat.
