Is it OK to Do CPR on a Person Who is Barely Breathing? When In Doubt, Do CPR. If you're looking at a person you can't wake up and aren't sure if he or she is breathing, he or she probably isn't. If the patient is taking such shallow breaths you can't see the chest rising and falling, it's not enough. If the patient is gasping every few seconds for air, it's not enough. Either way, call 911 and push on the chest. CPR is changing. There's been a lot of research done trying to determine what kind of CPR is better and who should perform it. Simply put: doing something is better than doing nothing.

- 1 To check your horse's respiratory rate, stand back and watch her chest movements. 2  One in-out movement of the chest counts as one breath. 3  Count how many times this happens in one minute. 4  It's best to do this check when your horse is resting so that this will be an indication of her normal respiratory rate.. Examine your horse's coat and skin. A dull coat is a sign that the horse is either in poor condition, suffering from a lack of nutrition or not grooming herself properly. If this is the only symptom, it is likely not an emergency, but you would do well to mention it to the vet the next time you see him.
