Bagging a dog is damn difficult without an airway adjunct. They have a Mallampati score of somewhere around 15.
Huh...
Don't know anything about the difficulty of BVM w/o an adjunct but I do know that this particular BVM fit around the snout and forced air into the nose.
Would suck if the little bugger needed to pant. I think that there are cooling jackets for dogs for that purpose, among others.
On a completely unrelated sidenote, can you imagine being the poor peon doing manual ventilation on an equine? I only bring it up because I remember reading about this one doc that wanted to prove the effectiveness of Dendrobate/Phyllobate (think Poison Arrow Frog) poison for medical purposes and I think he either did a tracheotomy or intubated the bugger for 3-4 days.
