Thank you so much for this post . I have a question . In doing CPR on a pug ....and the nose being what it is.....do they get as much air in with their facial features being as they are ? I've had to do this ONCE on a pug ...being a nurse I thought I knew what to do ...but got so nervous doing it on a beloved dog . He was ok TG and came out of it real quick looking no worse for the ware .... but I wondered how well the air went into the dog in giving the breaths . In putting my mouth on the dogs nose ...I was getting part of his lips in trying to cover the nose area . Any suggestions ?

I realise this is an old post, but thank you very much for posting this…I have always wondered what was the correct procedure for Canine CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. I will be sure to keep this information handy.

- Absorbent compresses (gauze sponges assorted sizes)

- Clean cloth

The Heimlich info is greatly appreciated. Buddy is at the age that he is eating everything he sees when we go for walks. It's a constant battle with him trying to run away with whatever he has and me trying to get it out of his mouth. Can't wait til this stage passes!
