Artificial respiration is a technique that is used to help a person or animal breathe when they are not breathing on their own.
Artificial respiration should be used if your dog is not breathing.
To open your dog's airway, tilt their head back and lift their chin.
To give rescue breaths, pinch your dog's nose closed and cover their mouth with yours. Blow into their mouth until their chest rises.
Continue artificial respiration until your dog starts breathing on their own.
You can stop artificial respiration if your dog starts breathing on their own.
After you have performed artificial respiration, it is important to get your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
