Give two gentle breaths, ensuring the chest rises with each breath.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chest Compressions<\/strong>: Place one hand over the other on the widest part of the puppy&rsquo;s chest. Compress the chest about one-third to one-half its depth. Perform 30 compressions followed by two rescue breaths.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repeat<\/strong>: Continue CPR with cycles of 30 compressions and two breaths until the puppy starts breathing or professional help arrives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id='4-remove-excess-water'  id=\"boomdevs_4\" >4.

Ensure the puppy is kept warm:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dry the Puppy<\/strong>: Use towels to dry the puppy thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warm Environment<\/strong>: Place the puppy in a warm, dry area. Use a heating pad set on low or a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel to provide additional warmth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id='6-seek-veterinary-care'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" >6. Seek Veterinary Care<\/h4>\n<p>Even if the puppy appears to recover, it&rsquo;s crucial to seek immediate veterinary care.
