When at rest, your pet should take about 12- 35 breaths per minute. Additionally if they are breathing shallowly and rapidly or deeply and slowly these are not normal breathing patterns If your pet is taking more than 35 breaths in one minute repeatedly but otherwise seems normal then you can repeat this count over the next 1-3 hours to see if it's consistent. If your pet has an increased respiratory rate or effort as described seek veterinary care right away. Remember it's important to take the rate at rest not when panting, excited, stressed or purring. More context: remember each rise and fall of the chest = 1 breath. You can count over 30 seconds and multiply by 2, count over 15 seconds and multiply by 4 or count over the whole minute. Practice a few times a month to get the hang of it and see what's normal for your pet before you need this. Also consult with your amazing vet per usual. In general this is especially important in pets with advanced heart disease but also asthma and many other ailments and trauma. There are apps that can help you track like Cardalis or search in the App Store for pet breathing heart rate What questions do you have? Is this something you've done for your pet?

🚨 How To Save A Dog From Choking On A Ball In this viral video, Dr Margaret Hunt and her incredible team saves the life of a german shepherd who choked on a ball. How Dr. Hunt un-lodges the ball from the dog’s throat is called the external extraction technique and is something that all pet parents should know how to do. Trying to pull the ball from the throat is often unsuccessful due to suction created from the ball, this technique is critical. So make sure to SAVE this reel so you can come back to it if needed (knock wood) and SHARE with people who love their pets. Steps To Do This At Home: 🐶 1. Flip the pet onto their back 2. Straddle them 3. Put your hands in a V/Diamond shape with both thumbs touching behind the ball in the throat 4. Then push up and outwards with your thumbs in a J stroke from behind the ball until the ball is extracted from the mouth. As soon as the ball is out, provide two rescue breaths and if the dog does not respond, begin CPR. I hope you never have to use this technique and remember that supervised playing is one of the best ways to avoid these incidences. However, for when accidents do happen, you’ll now know what to do. Has your dog ever had a choking incident or eaten something they shouldn’t have?

Say hello to Herbie’s Hairy Eyeball! Right now the only real issue it’s causing is some increased goober production in the morning, but we still need to get it removed before it has a chance to cause corneal scarring or predispose him to corneal ulcers. I’m so grateful to @wiseanimalrescue for rescuing him from the puppy mill, and Dr. LoPinto and his team at @veteyecenternyc for their expert care in managing Herbie’s ocular dermoid. Have you experienced a similar hairy situation with your pet? I want to hear about it! If not, I’m sure you have questions - ask them in the comments, or just send Herbie love for his upcoming surgery 💜 #oculardermoid #dermoid #dogeyecare #veterinarian #veterinaryophthalmology #dogmomlife #vetlife #weirdpets #doghealth #hairyeyeball #cavalierkingcharles #cavalierpuppy #kingcharlescavalier #puppymillsurvivor

When your pet is at rest, they should be breathing about 12–35 times per minute. Anything outside of that - fast, shallow, labored, or unusually slow breathing - isn’t normal. If you’re getting over 35 breaths/min consistently, recheck over the next 1–3 hours. If it stays elevated or the effort looks increased → don’t wait. Call your vet or go in. How to check: Each rise + fall of the chest = 1 breath. • Count for 15 sec × 4 • Or 30 sec × 2 • Or a full minute Important: only count when your pet is fully at rest (not panting, purring, dreaming , stressed, or excited). This matters a lot, especially for pets with heart disease, asthma, or after trauma. Pro tip: practice when your pet is healthy so you know what’s normal for them before you need it. What’s your pet’s resting breathing rate? 👇 Save this so you have it when it matters. #pethealth #petemergency #doghealth #cathealth
