How about "mouth to nose" resussitation?

Had to use the skill once to no availVery cute!!
I have taken a course in canine CPR - good to know what to do, but hope to never have to use it.
Did it on the Dan Ryan expressway in Chicago, but never to a K-9that is too cool!!!!
but how about the real thing anyone?
Seen a fireman do it on the TV news one time.
They had a tank and mask.

Oh, whoa!!! I've worked in hospitals forever, and in my experience, you sort of get a feeling. You're ready for it. There's back-up.It saved my dogs life. He almost drowned at a hunt test. The photographer taking pictures had just learned mouth to snout. Willy was blue around the mouth and tonge by the time we reached him. The photographer did the mouth to snout while a friend and I did the chest compressions. It seemed like we worked a long time before we got a response. Thanks to quick thinking, some knowledgeable people and a couple of club members who were volunteer firefighter we were able to get him to a vet. The X-ray showed just how much water wae still in his lungs.
