CPR for your pet

I did this with a much loved friend of mine ....... a cat. It was suffering with cat flu and had stopped breathing and could not detect a pulse. It lived happily for a further 6 years. 

Lots and lots of years ago my dad did this with our goldfish Billy who was about five.  He loved to jump and often jumped high enough to flip himself out of his bowl.  He was usually found gasping on the floor.  One morning my Dad came down from the bedroom and Billy was on the floor, but not gasping at all and looked lifeless.  Dad took him in one hand and blew lightly over his gills, and then pressed lightly on his middle bit in a repetetive way.......... and Billy started gasping again.  He was put back in his (bigger) tank and lived until he was about thirty!
