My newborn puppy isn't breathing. What can I do to revive it?

Question

How can I revive a still born puppy? Pet's info: Dog | Jack Russell Terrier | Female | unspayed | 5 years and 1 month old

If the puppy is deceased then there is little to no chance of regaining a heart beat. If the pup has a heart beat but not breathing then gently blowing breaths into the nose / mouth may stimulate breathing. Also using a nasal aspirater to suction any fluids from the mouth and pharynx can be helpful. Of course taking the pup to a veterinarian immediately would be it’s best chance of survival, but the chances are still very low. I’m sorry you are going through this. Take care and thank you for using Pet Coach.
