would you do CPR on a lizard?

Posted by JenStar on August 3, 2005, at 13:23:52

Hello everybody,
I know this is an odd question, but I read an article that said sometimes people can do CPR on animals and save them. The article stated that a woman did CPR on her huge big one on that fell into a pool.

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing CPR on a lizard, although if it was my lizard and I loved it, I might change my mind.

Would you ever do CPR on a lizard? How about on your dog or cat? Does anyone even know how to do CPR on a dog or cat?

Sorry, but I am not an animal person, let alone a reptile person. So no, I would not do CPR on a lizard.

Is that cruel? ROFL

 

Absolutely!! (nm)

Yes. You don't have to do it directly mouth-to-mouth. I've worked in research laboratories and had to resuscitate a few animals. We used a plastic tube. One end of the tube is placed over the animal's mouth and nose, and you blow into the other end. By the way, EMT personnel don't place their mouths directly on the mouths of the humans they resuscitate either. They use a special device that is placed over the mouth of the victim. It protects both the rescuer and the victim from exchanging fluids/germs from the mouth.
