Canine Heat Stress Treatment
Summer is here and it is important to monitor your dog for heat stress. Many older dogs and dogs with short noses such as Pugs and Boston Terriers can suffer heat problems on days that do not seem overly hot to humans.
Prompt treatment can mean the difference between life or death. If your dogs is panting excessively, is lethargic or goes into a coma, check it's temperature and react immediately.
In heatstroke cases, high fever must be reduced rapidly to Save the dog's life and prevent permanent brain damage.
Body temperatures of 106 F and above can only be tolerated for a few minutes before irreversible damage occurs to the
central nervous system. If heatstroke occurs:
1) Gradually immerse the dog in cool
water if possible.
2) Or, spray cool water from a garden hose.
3) Apply ice packs to the head and neck.
Treat the dog as quickly as possible and call your veterinarian immediately. Heat exhaustion or heat cramps must also be treated by your veterinarian. Remember, always provide shade and plenty of cool water for your dog.
