With the hot weather upon us, it is important to be aware of the dangers of heatstroke – a life threatening condition, caused by the elevation of a dog’s body temperature. The risk of heatstroke is much greater for dogs as they only perspire around their paws and nose. The most effective means for a dog to expel excess heat is panting, which moves cool air through the nasal passages and around the body. If a dog doesn’t have access to cool air- either because of high temperatures outside or a confined environment – they are at risk of over heating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Symptoms of Heatstroke<\/strong><\/p>\n

-distress<\/p>\n

-excessive panting<\/p>\n

-excessive salivating<\/p>\n

-bluish-purple or bright red hums, due to inadequate oxygen supply to the tissues<\/p>\n

How To Treat<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cool your pet down on the way to the vet. Get them into the car with the AC running. Use a spray bottle to lightly mist them with water. DO NOT submerge pet in ice water, it can cause more damage.<\/li>\n
  2. Get them drinking. If your dog is able to drink, give them a large bowl of water.<\/li>\n
  3. Seek veterinary attention. Heatstroke is a serious condition that requires immediate attention and intensive care is generally required to save the pet’s life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Never leave your pet unattended in the car.<\/li>\n
    2. Keep your dog well hydrated.<\/li>\n
    3. Carry water.<\/li>\n
    4. Provide shade<\/li>\n
    5. Avoid walking on hot days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
