This time of year we often see victims of heat stroke. It is important to watch out for our small friends. They need shade and cool water at all times. If possible, keep them inside. Brachycephalic breeds (short-nosed dogs) like English Bulldogs, Pugs, Pekingnese, etc., are especially at risk. They should never be left outside during the hot times of the year. Other risk factors are heavy coats, obesity, and exercise. Please - never, ever leave your pet in a car. The temperature quickly elevates to life-threatening levels. Signs can include rapid breathing, mouth can be dry or the pet can be drooling, depression, weakness, and collapse. If you suspect heat stroke, take a rectal temperature. Normal is 101-102 degrees (F.). Heat stroke can elevate it to over 106 degrees. Wet your pet down with cool water, not ice cold, and take your pet immediately to the nearest veterinarian. Time is of the essence to prevent life-threatening complications. |
