Knowing me, I'd REALLY panic at that point and call 9-1-1. |
I would imagine it would depend on the size of the dog much like you would use different amounts of pressure on toddlers then you would an adult.
As for your second question - I don't know. Personally, I think I would do both. I also think that by that point, I would hope to be doing it in the backseat of a car while hurrying to the nearest vet's office.
