☀️🐾 HEAT STROKE CAN HAPPEN FAST! 🐾☀️
As temperatures rise, it’s important to know the signs of heat stroke in your pets. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and can become life-threatening very quickly.
🚨 Watch for:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Bright red or pale gums
• Weakness or lethargy
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Stumbling or difficulty walking
• Collapse or seizures
🌡️ If you suspect your pet is overheating:
✅ Move them to a cool, shaded area
✅ Offer small amounts of cool water
✅ Use cool (not ice-cold) water on their body, especially the paws, belly, and neck
✅ Contact your veterinarian immediately
❌ Never leave pets in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a car can become dangerous incredibly quickly.
If you’re concerned your pet may be suffering from heat stroke, seek veterinary care right away. Early intervention can save lives. ❤️🐶🐱
Stay safe and stay cool this summer! ☀️💜
