Rescue methods for a drowning dog

1. When the owner discovers that the dog is drowning, he should first fish the dog out immediately, and then clean the dog’s mouth and nasal cavity of water. The owner should pull the dog's tongue out of the mouth to ensure that the dog can inhale air and avoid suffocation.

2. The owner can lift the dog's hind legs, keep the dog's head hanging down, and then press the dog's belly hard to squeeze out the water. This treatment method is the same as the emergency treatment of human drowning. The water in the stomach must be removed first.

3. If the owner finds that the dog has stopped breathing, he should immediately perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the dog. Let the dog lie flat on its side and clean the dog's mouth without anything blocking the dog's breathing. The owner overlaps his hands and continuously presses the ribs next to the dog's shoulder blades to squeeze the air out of the lungs until the dog resumes breathing on its own.

4. You can also pat the dog's abdomen 1 to 2 times, then grab the hind limbs with your hands and swing them repeatedly about 10 times, then put the dog down and observe. If there is no reaction, repeat the above action.

5. When the heartbeat of a drowning dog stops, external chest heart massage should be performed first.
