"Was" an emergency choking

[Brittany]

Okay, you're going to have to do a lot of extrapolation here. I'm using a sprinkle container. The part where it flares out will be the front shoulders of the kit and the bottle neck will be the head and neck of the kit. The trick is to keep your fingers loose enough to not obstruct the airways but secure enough to keep the kit in your hand. It's really not so hard when you hear a kit with fluid in its nose and the adrenaline is pumping.

Thank you for the pictures. I think a lot of us pet owners are interested in how to help an adult chin in a choking situation. Would the technique used in the video be for an adult chin or just kits?

You could do the same thing with an adult chin - pending they aren't HUGE (and you don't have tiny hands). You'd just have to widen your grip. I would probably wrap an adult in a towel and then do it, to further support their back end.
