You can also take a Pet First Aid Class at your local American Red Cross Chapter.

I love the phrase "mouth-to-snout resucitation"

We carry pet O2 masks here and took a doggie first aid course as a department... I missed it, unfortunately, but I hear it was pretty good. We learned how to intubate dogs and such, too...

This has got to be one of those "you know you're a hick when" kind of moments

I love the phrase "mouth-to-snout resucitation"

You should try it some time! A cats face is covered with thousands of tiny strands of fur, and when wet and sooty, they stick to everything. :wacko:

Animal Oxygen devices and resuscitators have been around for decades, but the companies I've served with probably don't carry them now, and certainly didn't when I learned about sooty kitten faces..

But it never hurts to try. If you think it's worse than it sounds, it's not, but you can always use a round, cuffed neonate mask to blow air in via Mouth to Mask-over snout resuscitation.

I do have a pet resuscitator, that is quite old, but I do not have the number of oxygen tanks necessary to operate its pneumatic workings.

You guys think there will ever be an EMS service exclusively for pets/animals?

ya know I took this to a dog forum and ended up getting crucified for talking EMS in a dog forum. (I thought it was dog related as it discussed resuscitation of dogs in general - guess it wasnt....)

And anyway, I think it would be cool to be able to resuscitate animals. and yes I would resuscitate mine if it ever came down to it. (After I make sure my daughter is OK though.) Yeah I love my dog that much.

I actually learned pet CPR before I ever learned human...I was a vet tech for 3 years as a teenager. It's pretty much is the same, and they do make BVM's and all the other toys for pets.

You know a pet ambulance is a good idea, could make a good amount of money if you could contract/partner with the right Vet office.
