Editing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (section)

==On animals==
It is feasible to perform CPR on animals, including cats and dogs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How to Perform Pet CPR |url=https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/cpr/performing-cpr/pet-cpr |access-date=2024-04-27 |website=Red Cross |language=en}}</ref> The principles and practices are similar to CPR for humans, except that resuscitation is usually done through the animal's nose, not the mouth. CPR should only be performed on unconscious animals to avoid the risk of being bitten; a conscious animal would not require chest compressions. Animals, depending on species, may have a lower bone density than humans and so CPR can cause bones to become weakened after it is performed.<ref>{{cite web | title=CPR for Cats & Dogs | url=http://depts.washington.edu/learncpr/cat_dog.html | publisher=University of Washington School of Medicine | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080107080407/http://depts.washington.edu/learncpr/cat_dog.html | archive-date=2008-01-07 }}</ref>
