In this informative video, Elaine Acker, former CEO of Pets America, demonstrates a technique for performing CPR on pets. We shot this video with “Wolfgang” because he’s a larger mannikin and the process is easier to see. However, this works the same way with cats. Just adjust the depth of your compressions accordingly (just as you would with an infant vs. an adolescent in human CPR).
NOTE: Since this video was produced there are new standards for pet CPR. Please check in at The Red Cross for the latest techniques.
