Your cat's collapsed and they're not breathing, would you know what to do?

Your cat's collapsed and they're not breathing, would you know what to do? If your first thought was to panic, then you need to watch this video because knowing CPR for your pets could potentially save their life. So firstly, we need to assess the situation and remember A, B and C. A is for airway. Take a good look inside your cat's mouth as far back as you can. Is there anything obstructing your cat's airway? Have they choked on anything? If yes, you have to get that object out. The airway must be clear for you to give effective CPR. Once you're sure the airway is clear, move on to B, which is for breathing. Get down to chest height and watch to see if your cat's rib cage is rising and falling. Are they breathing? Check their gum colour. Are they going a shade of blue or purple? Then we move on to C, which is for circulation. Can you feel a heartbeat? Place two fingers behind your cat's elbow. Can you feel their heartbeat? If there's no heartbeat or pulse and your cat is not breathing or they're going a shade of blue or purple, we need to start CPR immediately. It's important that you call your vet to alert them of the situation and they might be able to provide you with further advice on the phone. But in the meantime, make sure your cat is laying on their right hand side, ideally on a flat hard surface. Now, you're going to need to give 30 compressions at a rate of 120 beats per minute. That is two beats a second. Make a C shape out of your fingers and thumb. Place your fingers underneath your cat's rib cage with your thumb on top behind their elbows. Press their chest one third to a half of the depth of their entire chest depth. Like I say, 30 times and it will look something like this. Now, it's important that your hand motion is doing this and not this. You need to be applying even pressure across the rib cage. If your cat is particularly large, you can do this with two hands doing the same on each side. So one hand at the front, one hand at the back and applying even pressure like so. After you've given the 30 compressions, you're then going to need to give two breaths. You're going to need to place your lips around your cat's nose and mouth and gently deliver two breaths. Watch the rib cage rise and fall after each breath to make sure you're delivering sufficient oxygen. It will look something like this. After the two breaths, straight back into the compressions. Now after you've given 30 compressions, back to two breaths, back to 30 compressions. You need to keep cycling between 30 compressions and two breaths up until about after two minutes. After two minutes, you can pause to check if there are any signs of life. Is your cat breathing? Can you feel a heartbeat? If your cat is showing any signs of life, fantastic, get them to the vet as soon as possible. If your cat is not breathing and doesn't have a heartbeat yet, keep going with CPR or as advised by your veterinarian on the phone. Knowing CPR could save your pet's life. It's better to be prepared in a state of emergency than panicking.
