1. Quick Assessment: Check if your dog has any obvious obstructions to breathing, such as food, toys, or other foreign objects. If there is, carefully remove it.

2. CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): If the dog is not breathing, you can try to perform CPR. Here are a simplified version of the CPR steps:

- Place the dog on its side on a hard surface.

- Make sure there are no obvious obstructions in your dog’s throat.

- Stretch the dog's head and neck and gently open the mouth.

- Close your mouth, seal your nostrils tightly, and perform mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.

- Send out enough airflow to inflate your dog's chest.

- Take another breath every five seconds.

Note: CPR is an emergency operation. It is best to perform CPR on your dog while seeking emergency veterinary help. Additionally, specific CPR methods may vary depending on the size and shape of your dog, and it is best to consult a professional veterinarian for guidance in an emergency.

3. Seek medical attention: Whether or not you successfully perform CPR, you should seek veterinary help immediately. Contact an emergency veterinary clinic or veterinary hospital and get your dog to a medical facility as soon as possible.

In an emergency, it is crucial to provide your dog with early medical assistance. Stay in touch with your veterinarian, follow their instructions, and seek medical attention as soon as possible to improve your dog's chances of survival.
