My cat hasn’t ever had any medical issues. Not even hairballs. But I love him too much, so Incase I ever sadly need to do this, I want to be prepared. Thanks for the video!
So sensible. Glad you found it useful
It's always good to be prepared! Glad your cat's been so healthy and may he continue to prosper :)
Alex Norton me too
not throwing up hairballs means he has a problem
same
The unfortunate fact is there are not many vets ever open when you need them.
That is why these skills are so important x
agree about the skills and also it's important to find an emergency vet in your area. (if there isn't one ... i'd consider moving from that area, if you have pets.)
Went to the first vet, they didn't do operations. Went to the animal hospital, the only guy available was on lunch break. On the way to the third vet, my best friend died in my arms.
He name was Fawkes.
I found him as a stray blind feral starved freezing kitten. He couldn't walk because of how cold it was but he was fine after I brought him in, fed him and sat him beside the heater. He hated me for a whole month before I could gain his trust. Imagine being blind and you don't know what the hell is going on. He relaxed as soon as he met out other cat.
The moment he first climbed onto my lap and nudged my chin with his nose, I knew this cat was special.
When he died a part of me died too.
@@loutenant2817 Thats very sad. I got to the emergency vet and they basically said nothing they could do. I couldnt even do cpr because i was alone and driving like a mad man to the useless vet. My little girl died and im not even sure if they tried. Her son died at age 3 when he got a cold. Congenital heart defect. Jad him in a hyperbaric chamber with antibiotics but the pericardium around his heart and the heart tissue itself filled with fluid. 3 rounds of cpr and adrenaline. About a grand and he still died. Now i do regular ecocardiograms every year.
😭😭😭
Good to know, hope never to do.
Chibi, if I watched this video three days ago you might still be here, I miss you everyday. My life is not complete without you. I hope you are happy on the other side.
So sorry to hear your news
I jst lost my 1 and only a week old kitten today idk why I'm watching this I'm jst so weak at heart rn.
@@clancyhere so sorry to hear that, stay strong ;)
I did this still my cat died. Rip max
@@batmanbtch958 I'm so sorry, but at least you can be at peace with yourself knowing you did everything you could
I had to do this last night while my wife was driving us to the vet clinic. He died in my arms together with one part of myself. I will always remember you Ginger. R.I.P 20/05/2021
I'm so sorry to hear this
😢@@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1
I am so sorry, I know its been few years but this touched me.
I was able to bring my 12 year old Tuxedo back to life using this technique. I hadn't watched this video, nor had I performed CPR before, but for some reason I seemed to know what needed to be done. Poor guy hopped into a cooler and the lid shut. It's now a few months later and Lucifer the cat is back to his normal self! He had a temp of 92 degrees F (should be 100-102.5) had no pulse, or breath.
If you are able to bring your cat back, wrap the cat in warm blankets (heat in dryer for a few minutes) and get to a vet ASAP!
Wonderful you managed to save your cat/s. Cats have a higher temperature than us so that was great thinking to gently heat up (but not too hot of course) some blankets. Well done you and thanks for sharing.
Did you blow in its nose
i wish i done this, my cat would probably still be here today, but no one in my family knew what to do so we just took him to the vet clinic as fast as possible but he died before we got there
So I'm here playing this video with my kitten half dead laying in of me while calmly and casually she takes her time to explain the procedures . No big deal my agonising cat can wait.
Lol thank you tho I was able to save my kittens life I was getting scared his eyes got really dry and he was not breathing. I kept trying for about 10 min and little by little it came back to life. I was super surprised I have never done CPR on anything and I was able to bring my kitten back to life thank you so much. If this happens to anyone don't panic take action.
I can't tell you how pleased I am that my video helped you to resuscitate your kitten. So delighted they are okay xx
My mother did the cpr to à hamster and brought it back to life two time and after that he die anyway
Sorry about the hamster. My kitten made it.
FIRE PRO I was angry because my parent gave it to my little sister when she was 8 and he die From starvation....and since my two sister killed their pet they never had other after that
Amnesia Dark wow that sucks poor hamster something avoidable was its cause of death.
*TIP FOR CHECKING IF THE CAT IS BREATHING*
lick the back of your hand and place it in front of the cats nose. it’s easier to be sure if its breathing or not when your hand is a bit wet since it feels a bit cool when a warm breath touches it. ever been bathing in the summer and half freezing to death if it’s a bit windy when you come out of the water? same principle.
How do i know my kitten is still breathing? Its been 20/30 minutes since she vomited blood, and its been 10 minutes since I haven't seen her stomach move
Im still hoping shes still breathing 😭😭😭 i did cpr many time but it didn't work😭😭😭😭 this kitten isn't mine but my brother 😭😭😭 im scared after he come back😭😭😭 i wish he dont accuse me stepping into her 😭😭😭 i wish she's still breathing 😭😭😭
@@GFriend-Gone_With_The_Wind go to a vet right now.
Wait... Her body is kinda warm? And i can feel her moving a little 😭😭😭 🤞🤞🤞🤞 hoping she come alive😭😭😭🤞🤞🤞
@@GFriend-Gone_With_The_Windhow's the cat now?
I love my son. He is all i have in this world. Thank you for this, I appreciate it a lot and hope I will never need it.
Me too 🥺
I dreamt my son couldn't breath and was dying in my arms.. I woke up and he was asleep next to me... I cuddled into him and searched cat cpr soon as i got up and found this.. It's good to know these things.. I hope you and your son are healthy and happy.
Thank you for this video! I just completed training to be certified for performing CPR on humans, and while petting my cat I realized that I had no idea how to help her if SHE needed CPR. I feel much relieved in now knowing, but I pray to never have to do that
That is great!
My cat has a breathing problem. It does not affect his daily routine but I do worry. So I wanted to know how to do cpr to my baby (although I don't even wanna think about it). AND I AM CRYING WATCHING THIS THINKING WHAT IF I HAVE TO DO THIS ONE DAY... May all of our loved ones live long.
I completely understand. On our website we have so many materials about CPR on babies and we would highly encourage you to book on a practical or online course with us to increase your confidence and skills firstaidforlife.org.uk/
My poor cat died today after getting hit by a car outside my house. She passed away on my lap on the way to the vet. I wish I had watched this video sooner, I watched her die in my arms as she gasped for her last breaths before her heart decided to stop beating :( She may have had broken some ribs from the crash so I don't think the CPR would have helped but I still feel incredibly guilty I couldn't do anything to help her :(
Dear Ruairidh, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Sending much love Emma
I’m to sorry for your loss
please don't feel guilty Ruairidh. She probably had internal injuries and giving CPR would probably not have done any good. you did what you could. xxx
sorry about the loss of your beloved furry friend. :(
Sorry for your loss, and don't blame yourself. Unfortunately these things happen, and it's unlikely CPR would have helped in this situation.
Last night I dreamed that my cat's heart had stopped. While I was crying and doing CPR, I was trying to call a vet. After doing CPR for 3 minutes, he came back to life and I was very relaxed. But in case it happened again, I immediately started watching CPR videos. I was crying when I woke up. Now I've opened this video, but I'm having trouble watching it because it reminds me of my dream and I feel like crying again. Just thinking about my cat dead is enough to bring tears to my eyes. I can't even imagine what I would do if he really died.
So glad you are learning these skills now so you are prepared if you need to use them.
I just lost a cat 30 mins ago and i was crying while performing CPR and jst praying and praying but no matter how hard i tried he wouldn't breathe and im still crying abt him cause i saw him die right in front of me and i saw him get hit by a car and they jst kept on going and he flew into my fence and i didnt know what to do so i looked up on google how to perform cpr on a cat and i didnt see this video and i was searching but then he passed and i can't stop thinking abt him and i jst rlly hope u dont have to experience the same thing I did
One of our cats died today. For some reason, I didn’t notice that he was having problems. All I noticed was that he would sit at places looking like he was peeing. Today, my sisters told me that he was having trouble peeing. He was weak. I watched him as he tried and failed to pee. He kept on seeking for places to relieve himself thinking that if he found the right spot, he’d be able to do his business. It was heartbreaking. The vet attached him to an IV and advised us to return the next day for an X-ray. I didn’t think he’d make it because he was so weak. Tonight, his heart beat really fast then he went limp. I attempted to do CPR with the limited knowledge I had and saw his ear fall. I didn’t know if it was a response to what I was doing but ultimately I stopped. I shouldn’t have given up so quickly.
I remember how he would respond to his name being called by moving his tail despite being so weak.
😭😭
krissnamartin I am so sorry to hear about your cat. It sounds like they may have had kidney failure and your cpr wouldn’t have helped. So very sad for you xxx
I feel you.our cat has been like that too.and i didn't even notice it until he was so depressed.i thought he's just to hungry to move or too dehydrated due to diarrhea that's why i kept pouring drops of water on his mouth and pushing foods through his mouth when he is uncousious while his heart is rapidly beating so that i can make him drink medicine but little did i know that it won't help him i felt so sad that i kept seeing his face everytime being too sweet to me.I felt guilty for not being able to save him.
My kitty cat collapsed. We didnt know why. I checked to make sure he didn't swallow anything. Than started crp the best way I could. He did not make it. 😭😭😭We lost my sweet little charlie boy. He was only 3 years old. My heart is scattered without him. 💔Thank you for this video. I have been practicing just in case something happens to my other babies.❤
Just took a pet first aid course! I don't want to lose the information so these videos are super helpful!
I'm so glad!
Never would guess i'd need it. I was too late but thanks.
Özlem Özbay so very sorry to hear your loss
I wish i watched this earlier 😢
Rip sorry for your lost
I'm sorry for your loss. I understand exactly how you feel. Our 2 year old cat went into cardiac arrest last month (he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and I wasnt prepared for the worst case scenario. By the time we rushed to the vet it was too late.
Me too. The pain.... I could've done something if I only knew. So sorry vivi
extremely helpful. trying to learn incase anything happens to my (cat) daughter. thank you !
I would save the cat and not worry about asking for consent. That's vital time wasted. Would you go run to find a parent first and ask for consent before trying to save a child? No.
You are absolutly right. I was thinking the same.
That's a big responsibility tho. If the cat or baby dies, it will be because of you. And that is a crime.
It's better to try to help and deal with the consequences like a man.
Özlem Özbay that’s not true. Only if you prevented someone more qualified from administering treatment would you be responsible. If someone is going to die, and you do not do anything to save them, that also makes you responsible. But trying to save someone doesn’t put responsibility in your hands unless you know that what you’re doing is going to make the issue worse, or someone else there is more likely to be able to save them.
Exactly i would just try my best to save the cat
I heard a faint meow the other day that sounded off from my daughter's room where our kittens hang out and when I went to check, one of them had knocked over a cloth laundry hamper and gotten the handle wrapped around the bed and her neck and was in there choking. I was able to grab a knife and cut her free just as she was about to pass out. If I had been in any other room in the house, I would never have heard her. Thankfully I didn't need to perform CPR but I realized that if I had, I wouldn't even have known how to do it right. You just never know when your pets will have an emergency and when it's a situation like that you don't even have time to get to the vet.
Oh no! Hope the kitten is ok now! It' really important to know how to perform CPR just in case.
I really hope i never need this but i'm so appreciative of you making this video. So concise and informative...thank you!
Great feedback! thank you and so pleased its helpful to you
Don't ask for consent to do CPR!
If it isn't your cat, you need to ask.
@@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1it's wrong not to save a cats life if the owners not around
First Aid for Life no way. Consent is wasted time and is negligent.
I totally agree.
Having to learn these techniques around 5:00am right next to our lovely cat who has been suffering from feline arterial thromboembolism and having respiratory problems, just in case we may need to exercise them in any moment... Thank you very much for making such useful information available.
I hope it worked out!
@@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1 Luckily I did not have to perform it and he is doing much better now; however, those who have pets, we must know about such critical interventions just in case we might need them one day. So, I really thank you for making these videos available. All the best from Turkey
We just got our first cat. A month after he was born, he got sepsis and nearly died. Thank you so much for your video, I want to be prepared for him in an emergency.
Poor cat! Hope they're ok and so glad we could help.
Found a kitten on the road today. She stopped breathing a few minutes after I got her into the car and we didn’t make it to the vet in time. Thank you for making this video so that if (god forbid) something like this happens again, I know what to do.
Sorry to hear that
I speak for many cats when I say thank you for posting!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. My love Thursday is getting older and this video answered all the questions and provided the information I needed for her.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful
This answered my question I asked when watching the dog CPR one. Have subscribed as there is lots of good info on this channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks so much for subscribing! Hope you enjoy our other content.
Thank you for this video! It’s made me feel more at ease, my 3 year old cat has been diagnosed with fluid on her lungs, pneumonia. She is finding it difficult to breathe, especially when she goes into panicking. We decided to have her home for us to further try with medications and faith. I pray she makes it through this and pray I never have to perform cpr on her little body. Hold your kitties very tight, we don’t know when they will fall ill or something happen to them. 🥺
So sorry to hear about your cat! I completely agree, you never know what's round the corner. I hope your cat is ok soon!
I’m sorry I know how you feel it hurts so much to lose them forgiving myself is the hardest thing
❤ I will hug and kiss my others every day .
If I was giving CPR to a cat and the owner said not to.. I'd be like "This is my cat now"...
It is their cat! I understand where you are coming from, but ultimately I am afraid it is the owner's decision
One of my cats passed away 6 months ago, I've been guilty of it and unable to help her then. Pinkie passed away due to short of breath (and maybe something else too idk) in a shower... I drove her to the vet it was a 3min drive (the vet is just few blocks away) but she stopped breathing when I started driving...I still feel really bad about it.
Now I'm learning a lesson of what I could have done and what I could possibly do for my 3 other babies. Same as y'all, hope we dont have to do it but this is a skills all pet owners should have. xx
I agree and am so sorry to hear about your other cat :( you are doing the right thing by learning now xx
my cat died 6 days ago, i didn't know what to do, i'm watching this video regreting i didn't watch it before, thinking there was something i could do and he would still be here today, he was still moving his legs when i found him unconscious in the living room but by the time we got to the vet clinic it was too late
i will miss him forever
So sorry to hear that!
Same bro , he just died between my arms
Thank you... I was kind of traumatized today because the cat of my father in law had a stroke. She was a really nervous cat and they were moving out of their house and for some reason that i still dont understand they left the cat roaming freely in the house. So they tried to catch it and when it passed right next to me i tried to block her but she passed me and started to have a stroke. Everyone was yelling and their daughters were saying "eww" as i was trying to give it cpr. Unfortunately i didnt have any idea how to do that but i tried. The cat didnt survive and i got really sad :(
This video would of been useful earlier this morning. At least now i know if it happens to my own cat or puppy 😔😔
So sorry to hear your news
Disclaimer: this is not a video to watch quickly in an emergency! Find a shorter one if you are then come back to this later if you want x
Thank you so much for saying this. These videos are not for emergency use - they are calm, clear explanations to learn in advance
I really hope I never need to use this but I’ve got three fur babies so this knowledge is brilliant to have.
Lovely, glad to be of help x
I had to do CPR on our cat 4 years ago and brought her back on the way to the vets. Sadly, she passed away during surgery to fix and internal bleed from previous surgery. I didn’t do it as it was done in this video as I didn’t know how to do it, but we have just got a kitten so I want to make sure im better prepared in case this nightmare happens again. Thank you for sharing this 💖
Aw, that's so sad Beccy, sorry to hear that. But it is lovely that you have a new kitten, how exciting and sounds like she'll be as well looked after as possible
My cat unconscious because I crushed him while we we're sleeping in bed, he's not breathing, his stomach getting hard and bigger, his heart beating slow, I tried to do cpr now but nothing happen he's body getting colder now, vet currently not open, I dont know what to do crying and doing my best to cpr
Edited : my cat passed away I try my best but cant help him I hear him taking a last breath Im panicking checking his heart, it was over, I cried, he was like a son to me I feel lonely
May you Rest In Peace,
Sosis

I will miss him he always sleep beside me now he's sleep forever beside god, Im sorry about what I did it was an accident for killing innocent cat
Thank you for this tutorial. I lost my 19 year ginger boy Tom yesterday. I found him struggling to breathe and his lips were blue then had to ring three different vets to find one who did out of hours. None of them did call outs anymore 😞 The veterinary nurse on the phone explained CPR if Tom stopped breathing, I still had to wait for my friend to get to mine to get Tom in to the vets. He was close to death and was euthanasied within ten minutes of arrival at the vets. My wonderful companion, my fur family 💔 CPR would not have made a difference in the end for him but I decided to look for a tutorial video because I need to know this. We all should know ❤️💔❤️
i had a 6 month old cat stop breathing for what appeared no reason at all she just fell over. Checked for breathing and there was nothing. Saw my dad help a choking dog when I was young by blowing through its nose. So my immediate response was the same. Held her mouth closed and blew through her nose. I remember doing it pretty forcefully though. Thankfully she sprung up after about 10-15 seconds hissed at me and was scared of me for like a few weeks. She is still with me and the sweetest cat.
Thank you it was very useful
Glad it helped
I wish I new this earlier I always thought about it but never thought I would have to use it on my baby I felt so useless watching him die in my arms while on the way to the vet thank you for this I will be investing a lot of time and money in learning more about pet cpr as I prepare to be a new cat owner again
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. We offer both online and in person first aid courses for dogs and ebooks if you would like to check what is on offer - onlinefirstaid.com/our-courses/first-aid-for-dogs/
Brilliant! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the video this will help many people I wish I have seen it sooner but it's too late now mine away sadly but I pray and hope it works for others at least.
so sorry to hear that! Hope it helps in the future
You should have included a written instruction too. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your feedback! We will look into adding text. In the meantime you may be interested in our blog firstaidforpets.net/blog/
To get updates you can like us on Facebook, facebook.com/Firstaidforpets.net/ or follow us on Twitter twitter.com/firstaidforpetz
I second the suggestion to include briefer written instructions in the description of the video - a summary/refresher. I doubt I'd remember all of this in a moment of crisis and don't want to wait over 4 minutes to get all of the instructions.
Thanks for this video, always good to be prepared for an emergency.
One question: Does it matter on which side the cat is lying for the CPR?
Thank you, we are glad you found our video helpful! No it does not. We have lots of blogs and courses on our site covering more first aid for pets. If you are interested please check it out - firstaidforpets.net/
Thank you!🤗This helped my cat alot 😸
So pleased
Thank you so much for providing this vital information. It may save many lives - please like and share to all cat owners!
Thank you! I'm glad you think it's useful!
Thank You!
You're welcome!
I needed to verify if this was a real video on TH-cam or just a fever dream induced by a Daniel video
Yo same
I came from Daniel’s video as well
Glad you found our video!
I came from Daniels video aswell
Thank you so much
My pleasure
just thought of this because I was reading about a guy who came back to a carbon monoxide leak in his house and had to drag his family outside. I imagined it, but realized that if this were me, my cat would probably be in serious trouble if a leak big enough to affect people happened. It's always good to know about these things for the future rather than panicked in-the-moment.
I came to this video after I did cpr on my 8 week kitten. I pushed on her chest multiple times and she starting gagging and trying to breathe in her own with her back on the bed i also blew in her mouth! She came back to life! and is now napping next to me but I feel bad now knowing I did it wrong. I was in a rush to bring her back! 😣
Glad she’s okay!
Aseel ;-; 2 months ago or not please take her to the vet for a check up.
My boy died in my arms on the 30th last month. I didn't know how to do cpr on a cat so I did it like you would do to a person; so not only now do I think that me doing it wrong is what killed him quicker or because his kidneys were already failing before and he never had a chance to begin with. Maybe if I had known how to do cpr the right way, maybe he could still be here. I don't know.
I am so very sorry to hear your news. It is quite possible that you would not have been able to save him, even if you had known what to do - I am afraid we can't save everyone! Thinking of you lots and sending best wishes Emma
I'm so sorry...you tried at least.
i lost my rabbit to a heart attack some time ago, i also have a cat, and they were very good friends. i did not know what to do and panicked while my bunny was dying... if there will be a next time, i want to be ready, at least to tell myself that i did everything i could do. thanks for the video!
So sorry to hear your news
@@FirstaidforlifeOrgUk1 thank you :)
My cat died today, too late for me to watch this. 😭💔😭 But thank you for this.
So sorry to hear this, hopefully you now have all the skills should you need them again in the future
Okay this will help me if something ever happened to my cats
i wish i could start an animal-version of 911. my cat has bad asthma and it scares the hell out of me when he can’t breathe
I wish that I showed my mom this when my cat died outside our house R.I.P. Gino
Yesterday morning my kitten collapsed, thanks to this video I saved him. I thought that everything was fine so I didn’t take him to a vet.
For whole day he was really tired, at night he was calling for help but I couldn’t do anything because he had all the symptoms of dying cat . Maybe if I had taken him to vet, he wouldn’t die… right?😭💔😭
I’m reading comments and I’m sorry for your losses, I know it’s hard💔💔
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss, glad the video was able to help at the time.
Thank you
Thank you for your support.
Thanks!
Thank you for your comment!
The video is good and informing.. But I need closer up shots of how she's holding it's holding the cat and How to check a pulse a close up. I'm doing the CPR.
We will take this into account for future videos! Thanks for the feedback.
I had to do this for one of my cats kittens, I went down stairs for food at 4am and found a kitten unconscious I tried for 40+ minutes but it was no hope I ditched the food and just cried in my bed struggling to get back to sleep
I found my cat unconscious with no heart beat. It had happened VERY recently so I frantically did everything I could to try cpr without actually knowing how to do it on a cat. Of course, I did it wrong, and he died right there in my arms. I think about that every day. I wish it was me. I hate myself and I’ll never forgive myself for not being able to save him. I’m crying right now just thinking about it. But hey, now I know, so yeah.
So sorry to hear this, hope you are okay
also for the ending, i think in an emergency situation you dont need to give consent. I mean, im assuming in that situation there wont be anyone around but that stranger? by all means man, give cpr so my cat can live!
epique wenqa yes! & the Good Samaritan law will protect you
Me just searching how to do CPR on my cat when she's about to die in arms 😭😭😭
Trying to get here before it's an emergency. Need to memorize.
Pls turn on community contribution for translators
I wish I have watched this befora any other video...
I just lose my ponkan earlier this morning...😓😭
My cat died due to a sudden heart attack. I did not know how to preform CPR on cats and I hurriedly searched for this video. I wish I had watched this earlier..
So so sorry to hear about your cat! We hope this video can help in the future.
Thanks
You are welcome
One of my cats fell from my balcony and I didn't know because I was in my room. The watchman or the building came up holding her. She wasnt moving or blinking and if I knew how to do CPR on cats....maybe she wouldn't have been dead.
She was only 2 months old. She was born in February
So sorry to hear this. I hope you are okay
my cat pickles i tried to have my sister do CPR because she wasn't breathing but she refused but when i tried to do it she told me to go to my room i thank you for saving other cats but mine is gone
I'm so sorry!
He’s dying now he has been for the past three days he won’t eat won’t play he’s just sleeping he was such a sweetheart he will cuddle next to me and bite my fingers and scream at me for hours it’s 6:42am now there’s no vet available at the moment and even if there was no one will drive me there anyway
Goodbye baby I love you
Thank you for the really helpfull video, I hope I will never have to use it but I wanted to know how to perform CPR just in case. Just a quick question, I noticed that the chest compressions in the video were applied at the right side of the cat (instead of the left side as I would have assumed), is there a reason for this?
Someone else asked if it matters which side, and the first aid people replied that you can do compressions on either side
@@yesyeahyes1 Ah okay, thank you!
Lost my first cat just a few days ago, he was only 10 years old. I don't know what happened but it seemed like a heart attack, I took him to get some shots and he just pulled back let out a meow and collapsed then stopped breathing. I didn't know how to do CPR and there was no vet at the location. I felt so powerless. At least learning how to do CPR will help me cope. There was probably no way to save him anyways.
Hi, thank you for the great video....So if the cat had likely been hit by a car and maybe has broken bones or injured internal organs, could moving the cat or perforning CPR be more damaging? What is the best approach to that kind of situation?
IF your cat is unconscious and not breathing - CPR is the last resort
Thank you I find this very informing but is there a way to know if the cat is already dead or just unconcious and could be saved with CPR?
It is all in the video, good luck
Hi, Can giving a 3 weeks old kitten mouth to mouth or Mouth to nose respirations be harmful for me?? any bacterial infection i need to worry about that could harm me.?
Last night 2 am my kitten was unable to breathe and it was on its last breath, i already thought that its his last minute. Then i remembered and i did cpr and tried blowing air to its mouth, couple of minutes after, the situation became better, And this morning he is stable took him to vet.
Now im worried about me..can i inherit bacterial infections from its mouth?
Sadly my cat just died between my arms,I couldn’t watch this video at the right time.
my cat died today 😣😭❤️we love you cloud
My kitten just passed, I tried doing what’s shown in the video but it didn’t make the trip to the vet
Nice😊
thank you
Watching this video because i needed to refresh my memory, tried doing CPR on a cat on side of the road 🥺😭😭
Well done for helping where you can!
My cat died a few weeks ago, he just litterly collapsed after eating and taking a poop.... i rad downstairs because my mom was calling out my dad, but when i picked my cat up he was as lifeless to hold as a stuffed animal, i wanted to give him cpr but i was to scared to do it because i didnt exactly know how, after that i made shure i know how to do it so when something happend to my other cat i can do something.
I really feel bad for not knowing how to do this when i had him , he was an angel , best cat you could have ever had.
We still dont know why he died but it was too soon and too hardbreaking
So sorry to hear this
Just done a cpr on two of my kittens who were not breathing coz the big brother cat sleep on top of them while mama cat was feeding them. I have no idea what a cpr on cat, but just keeping my two finger press on the chest 1-5 times. Then they start crying.
I hope they're ok now!
Should I feed water to kitten who has trouble breathing? Or will it make it worse
I knew a guy who saved his friend's cat after she was electrocuted by chewing on an electrical plug. It struck me how important this skill is. I do wonder how hard to push, though - with human CPR, I've been told you pretty much can't push too hard (unless you're a really big person). I tried to perform CPR on a rabbit once and failed; I think I was too gentle. Is it around 1/3 of the body width that you should be compressing? I vaguely recall hearing that for humans...
The advice is 1/3 of the depth of the chest.
Yesterday a cat got thrown by a man in a box that looked to be maximum 4 months old got into my house, I wanted to take care of her but as I looked to the other way it got bite by a dog (not really strong, it was also fast) and then the cat started rolling, he was still breathing, kind of unconciouss for the pain, but the problem is that he seemed that got fractured a part of the neck, he wasn't able to stand, just rolled and rolled every time she got the consciousness back, again, she wasn't blinking, the cat couldn't close her eyes, I turned on the flashlights to point her eyes to see if the pupils would shrink but nothing, again, the cat was still kind of consciouss, every time I tried to lift her she screamed a lot because of the pain
8 hours later she died
I don't really know what to do in that type of cases... the only way there seemed to be only to sacrifice her...
I’m watching this because my cat is pretty healthy but gets big hair balls and sometimes they’re hard for her to pass
can you perform cpr on a cat as you would on an infant? since they are about the same size
Use the guidance for a small dog as it's more relevant
I tried to wake up my not-breathing cat without heart beat, he woke up for couple minutes to breath but then went unconscious again. Later on blood came from his nose. Why he went unconscious was that he puked blood and some visceral looking stuff. How big are cats lungs? Should I blow air handful of airballoon?
I feel like i let down my cat Olaf. He was fine at 9 ish pm almost to 10, i found him unconcious at 11pm. I was hopeless. I thought he had passed away. Maybe if i did learn did probably i would have save him. 😢 this regret will appear in me whenever i see CPR.
Is it too late for CPR when the kitten's body is stiffened up?
My cat actually passed away and i saved him by doing “human cpr” I’m shocked
Huge congratulations, glad he is okay now
I watched just half of your video and missed the crucial information.
I lost my kitten 2am 15.07.19 My kitten started to gasp for air in the middle of the night, after for some reason doing a black poo outside its litter. Next to our bed as we locked him in with us due to our other 11 month old kitten needing to get used to him first. I watched your video as he was limp on the floor, I was doing cpr after he lost consciousness in my hands and not breathing, I followed your instructions to check the gums (blue grey) and pulse, which I couldn't find or didn't have one. Opened him mouth pulled his tounge out and nothing, then I even put my little finger down his throat ever so gentle to see if there was something and that I wouldn't push it further or anything but there was nothing. After then within a few seconds I couldn't watch your video anymore because I was in desperate need for cpr and you didn't state you was going to teach us that half way through the video or in the written description, I would have jumped forward and watched it and would have been enough time to give my kitten a chance of life.
In the time I was watching your video I was losing time and him, also there were no other videos that were specifically stating kitten cpr so I could watch anything else quickly. I was doing cpr more gentle than you would to a human while calling emergancy vets which was no where near me and tried to charge then put the phone down on me after I said ok no problem but I needed help now and then he said OK calm down are you registered with us and I said my goodness please can I do this after because my 8 week kitten is unconscious but put the phone down! and I needed to call 2 others to finally get through to someone willing to help without charging me first, but by then it was too late it'd been 10mins since he passed out, he eyes had no movement just nothing from him. I didn't realise I had to go under the ribs on the right side and pulsate hard. I was losing time and needed a vet because your info wasn't stated earlier. I only had him 10hrs and he was panicking and just wiggling forcefully we couldn't understand, I picked him up and he was just wiggling I checked him mouth, nothing, eyes nose nothing, i just couldn't find anything then he lost consciousness, we was such in shock, my husband was in shock during losing him, started crying and panicking I didn't have support i had to do cpr and look on TH-cam the same time, then after calling vets which took ages. but because the info on the video was so slow and not stated that cpr was half way through the video I would have watched that and followed step by step.... I'm pretty sure I lost my 8 week kitten because of performing cpr wrong!
This effected both me and my husband, now we are too scared and upset to even look after another baby kitten. I suffered from panic and anxiety attacks 2 days after for 2 to 3 days, and suffered with anxiety all day every day even till now it's only been 2 weeks since and we're just cut up, I dreamt of him last night and the love I felt but the guilt and sadness was and is strong.... He was so unique, never seen such a pretty boy with the beautiful grey blonde and white markings!... I pray Jehovah will satisfy our desire of being with him again....
Just please state in your description you have Cpr information. We are so cut up to lose such a beautiful life and to have lost him so traumatically.... However thank you for your video, it will help others if they watch it before emergancies and during if have time to watch it all.
How tragic and traumatic, I'm so sorry to read your awful story and many condolences for the loss of your kitten. Sending you and your husband our best wishes, and will take your comment on promoting the importance of CPR when performing first aid for an unconscious cat into consideration although sadly our videos just can't be made for emergency situations, they need to be used as learning aids pre accident to ensure all pets receive adequate care in a crisis. My thoughts are with you Laura x
I don't know why every pet owner doesn't know this, to keep your cat alive. Thanks . Every owner should know this.
Very true, glad you found it helpful
I came home this past Wednesday to find my healthy cat laying on the floor not breathing and shes already quite stiff less than an hour after we play. I can't still move-on it hurts so much because i have no idea what happened to her and she seemed so fine, active and playful then suddenly i found her like that in just less than an hour.
*I wanna know if i should have done this in my case? If that still gonna work or applicabe in her case even though shes already stiff?*
Dear Jodi I am so desperately sorry to read your message. I have no idea what happened, but it sounds like it would have been much too late to have saved them. Sending best wishes
2 days ago my cat died...
He died because i think its dehydration and he can not breath... I tried my best to save him but the internet was so slow and i dont know what to do... So we keep him cool... Muinites later he stopped breathing and he starts moving his head and legs then died.
