Choking and CPR for dogs and cats
What to do when something is stuck or your pet stops breathing.
If you can clearly see the object, remove it; otherwise use pet Heimlich thrusts behind the ribs. For CPR, compress a third to half chest depth at 100–120/min, 30 compressions then 2 rescue breaths, and head to the vet.
