Dogs and Cats and CPR
Boca paramedic teaches pet owners to use animal CPR: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: Tim Fry is a man who has revived a ferret from insulin shock. He can do a doggie Heimlich on an overeager pooch who swallowed its chew toy, and perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a cat.I'm looking at my dog, and I'm wondering when the last time was she drank from the toilet. I'm thinking, yeah, I could maybe do it if I really needed to. But them I'm going to have to brush and floss and rinse and repeat. If I had a dog that ate her own feces? That just may be a different story.
Fry is a professional lifesaver and, for him, that definition extends to all creatures. He's one of the few emergency medical technicians trained to rescue animals and humans.
