If YOUR pet collapses, Do YOU know WHAT to do?
-----------------------------------------------------------

Here is some of what you can find in my Inner Circle:

SIGNS

The signs of collapse are obvious: your pet falls down. They may get up immediately, or stay unmoving on the ground.


CAUSES

The causes of collapse are varied. It may be due to choking on a ball. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can cause it. Other common causes include: shock, bleeding, poisons, allergic reactions, electrical injuries, and heart disease. Anything that affects oxygen supply to the brain will lead to collapse.


SOLUTIONS

CALL YOUR VET ASAP. When your pet suddenly falls over, you must take immediate action. Many things can cause this: shock, bleeding, poisons, allergic reactions, electrical injuries, and heart disease.

ASSESS SEVERITY. Check breathing and heartbeat. If you can see the chest rise and fall then she is breathing. If not, perform rescue breathing. Wrap your hands around your pet's muzzle (their mouth is closed), and breath into their nose. The chest should rise. Give 15 breaths per minute (one every 4 seconds). If the chest doesn't rise, then proceed with the Heimlich (See Bonus Material 3 for complete instruction on the Heimlich).

CPR. The next step is to feel for a heartbeat by placing your hand behind the left elbow on the chest. If the heart has stopped, begin CPR. Performing 5 heart compressions and 1 rescue breath. You should be giving 80-100 compressions per minute. See Bonus Material 3 for complete description of CPR.

GUM COLOR. Lift up your pet's lips and look at their gums and tongue. The gums should be a healthy pink color. If they are white, suspect shock or blood loss. Blue gums are seen in severe oxygen loss, such as smoke inhalation or suffocation. Red gums are seen in heatstroke and carbon monoxide poising.

Yellow gums are seen in liver disease.

TREAT FOR SHOCK. If your pet has collapsed and has pale gums, then treat for shock. Put a teaspoon of honey on her gums to help raise her blood sugar. Keep her warm by wrapping her in a blanket. Then get to your vet ASAP.

HYPOGLYCEMIA. Some cases of collapse are due to low blood sugar. This is primarily seen in diabetics, but I have also seen it in puppies and kittens. You can rub Corn syrup, honey or even dissolved table sugar on the gums. If the cause of the collapse is due to this, you will see a dramatic improvement in as little as 5 minutes.

HEATSTROKE. If it is a very hot day, suspect heatstroke. The most common signs include excessive panting, bright red gums, and elevated body temperature. Run cool water on her to slowly lower body temp, then transport to your nearest vet. See HEATSTROKE section for more details.
