Your actions. As soon as possible set the animal free from running knot. Open the mouth and remove mucus with kerchief or finger. Do the artificial respiration "mouth to nose."

How to do the artificial respiration

Lay the cat on the right side on flat surface, pull out the tongue forward and sideways.

Press your lips to cat's nose and breathe out the air to her nostrils, thorax must widen, after what the passive exhalation must follow. If the thorax doesn't heave, do more intensive exhalation. Repeat the exhalation every 4-5 seconds (12-15 breatings a minute), pull the tongue periodically.

How to do the external cardiac massage

Begin to do the cardiac massage at the same time with breathing "mouth to nose".

Clasp the thorax in fingers so as thumb is on one side of sternum, and the rest - on the other side (at once behind the elbow joint), and begin to press the thorax rythmically 0,5 second interval.

You can not interrupt massage more than for 5 seconds.

In every 2 minutes check if the pulse appears. Signs of vital functions are reactions on the light, blushing of gums, renewal of breathing.

Appearance of reaction on the light you can check with the palm, which is first brought to eyes of cat then taken away. Pupils must react (widen, converge).

If during 10 minutes (American vets give time - 30 minutes) vital functions is not restored, artificial respiration and massage are stopped.

Animal, having come to his senses, needs rest. Do the hypodermicinjection of cordiamin (0,5 ml), lobeline (0,3 ml).
