@frost check to see if their rib cage is moving, and call for help if it's not?

@frost Hm, this is fairly new on me. I'm *tempted* to say put hand in front of their nose and check for breathing that way, but that might also be a good way to get bitten at. I think it might be a good idea to call animal control in case.

@Leucrotta I put a paw on their chest and they didn't respond at ALL, so nose seems safe.

@Leucrotta can't feel any breath

also their eyes are slightly open which doesn't seem good

animal control?

@frost yeah, 510-777-3333 or (510) 535-5602 seems listed for Oakland

@Leucrotta shit. their tongue is out and looks like there's blood

would calling 911 be appropriate for a dog?

@frost Nope. 911 is human emergencies only. Stick with animal control, and don't try to move them - they're either dead and that could be bad for you, or they're still alive and that could be bad for them.

@Leucrotta we have a jacket, thankfully

more pressing is that our phone has 12% battery!

@frost Okay, get home as soon as you're clear of this? You did the right thing, I'm very proud of you. Thank you.
