She soon found him, his golden-hue turned a deathly shade of blue. She set to work. Unsure of how many chest compressions and breaths to administer, she faked it. After all, it\u2019s very hard to go wrong with CPR. <\/p>\n<p>She pumped his little chest, then held him upside down so the water could drain from his lungs.  She even held his mouth open and blew breaths inside. <\/p>\n<p>A veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets thinks Del Sol may have been unconscious, but after all the drowning stories we\u2019ve blogged about here, and considering Del Sol\u2019s tiny lung capacity, it wouldn\u2019t have taken much for him to drown. It only takes a few minutes for a human being to drown, after all. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sure Sherrie saved Del Sol\u2019s exotic life, in more ways than one. Besides the CPR-drowning rescue, she rescues abandoned lizards (turtles, dogs) after their previous owners discard them. We take our CPR hats off to Sherrie. <\/p>\n<p>Be a Hero!
