   When an animal (or human) has absolutly no heart rhythm (asysole) CPR alone will NOT bring them back to life. They will need defibrilation and even then chances of restoring a normal heart beat (sinus rhythm) after 5 minutes is pretty much nothing.

   yup, asystole is pretty much lights out in humans, Im an EMT not a pet emt though, but i’d gather the heart is relatively the same.

   Actually this is completely wrong. First its asystole not asysole.

   If someone is asystole a defibrillator is useless. The only way to bring someone back from asystole is through CPR and/or drugs. The Purpose of a defibrillator is basically if someone is in say Ventricular fibrillation it will reset their heart rhythm, in an attempt to return to a sinus/normal rhythm.

   Please don’t give medical advice if you don’t know what you are talking about.

   God forbid I spell something wrong. I think most people knew I ment ASYSTOLE.

   I am aware Asystole (& other pulseless rhy.’s) are non-shockable and that you need Epi/Atropine to try to bring the patient into a cardiac rhythm, most likly V-Fib, which is then shockable with the D-Fib.

   I understand what I said was unclear, however it wasn’t “completely wrong”. I am just trying to tell people that doing CPR on their dead dog, does not mean the dog will come to back to life and start running around

   @Afro3200 no its not, that is an old myth. although both humans and dogs have a wide array of bacteria in their mouth, dogs by far not only have have more types of bacteria but they actually contain higher bacteria counts in their mouth, these bacteria can cause human illness.

    wow! what a cute Dalmation, but how did they train that doggy to just lay there like that?

    @tobyrat23

    which is true. I have performed CPR on many during Medical Asst. through the Fire Dept. And many of those times sadly, it just wasnt good enough

    Actually my friends mother happened to watch a program on Animal Planet that showed how to do Pet CPR and their Jack Russell’s heart stopped a month later…She did the CPR and brought him back to life and he lived 2 more years…passing away at 19 years old. So yeah…I think this is good for any pet owner to know…especially if your dog has a bad heart.

    Thank you for a pet CPR video that was well done, comprehensive and not too long. I hope I never need to perform pet CPR, but I love my dogs and would do anything to save them. Thanks again, Elaine!

    Great – no nonsense demo. Would like to see one from her on choking and how to help with big and small dogs.

    ojala hubiera visto este video antes, hoy mi perro sufrio una dificultad respiratoria debido a una falla cardiaca, aunque ahora ya esta bien , me asuste mucho.
    Lo lleve al veterinario, espero que no le vuelva a ocurrir:D
    gracias por el video¡¡¡¡

    @Afro3200
    Not really.
    They just have different bacterias and virus that can almost always only live and reproduce on dogs but not on healthy humans so they die.

    Thanks. Very helpful. I will watch this till I know how to do it correctly. I could have saved several of my animals possibly.

    Thank you for posting this clear and concise video on canine cpr. My 3yo greyhound collapsed suddenly 2 days ago and had and erratic heart rhythm. My husband and I performed cpr for 20 minutes. We lost our sweet, silly Frannie but take some comfort in knowing we tried our best to save her. I am going to link this to our greyhound rescue adopter’s forum.
