Got my first "save" at a fire last night.

Awesome job, you are my hero! I'm such an animal lover, and a huge softie for hurt animals. It's nice to know there are people in EMS that care about the furry critters, too. Glad the little guy recovered so well!

Epi-do, great save!! I am a licensed vet tech as well as an EMT (yes, I DO save hem both :), and you did a great thing out there! You are absolutely correct that listening to lung sounds will be the same for human or animal. Great that he responded to your efforts, and hopefully will have no long-term deficits. To the poster who wondered where to find pulses you were right, too: either in the "armpit", chest or a quick way is right behind the paw, as it joins the leg. I did a lot of anesthesia on animals and always used the femoral pulse to guide me. If animal presents in lateral recumbancy (on side), the femoral pulse is the easiest one to find.
Good job!! Animals deserve help too!
 
awww!

You know, this is the happiest story I've heard in a few days.

I'm proud of you, man. Good job. :-)

Pets are so often forgotten about during emergencies.
