Important reminder with the rising temperatures this week! 🐾☀️

💧❄️Get them wet, straight to the Vets!❄️💧

➡️26.56% of the dogs with heatstroke died

➡️Nearly half (48.7%) of the dogs with heatstroke were dog breeds with flat faces. Flat-faced dog breeds were four times more likely to develop heatstroke than normal-faced dogs.

https://www.rvc.ac.uk/research/research-centres-and-facilities/veterinary-epidemiology-economics-and-public-health/news/new-research-from-the-rvc-suggests-human-heat-health-alerts-could-help-prevent-heatstroke-in-dogs

➡️⁉️ Dogs DO NOT DIE from missing a walk. They might if you risk taking them out in these temperatures. Yes, veterinary professionals are extremely good at treating heatstroke, and many cases can be saved, but it's a dangerous risk that is not worth it.

☀️ Protect your animals from the heat ☀️

🌞Dogs can get heat stroke on hot walks

🌞Animals get heatstroke in hot hutches they cannot escape

🌞Animals can get heatstroke if left in rooms with no ventilation

🌞Animals can get heatstroke if they have no access to cool water

➡️We are hopefully aware now of the national UK campaign 'Dogs Die in Hot Cars' - this advice remains!

➡️However, work by VetCompass has shown that 10 times as many dogs present for veterinary care related to heat-related illness (HRI) following exercise as dogs that present following being entrapped in a vehicle.

➡️Remember there could be a number of risk factors including:

✅Brachycephalic breeds
✅Age - juvenile or geriatric
✅Thick Coated Dogs
✅General Health
✅ Other illnesses

❌Do not leave animals in hot cars
❌Don't take your dog to the pub all day in the heat
❌Do not walk your dogs in the heat - remember even when the sun is down they may still get too hot while exercising if the temperature is still hot
❌ Ensure they aren't locked in rooms with no ventilation
❌Do not lock rabbits and guinea pigs in hutches with no escape from the heat

✅ Provide plentiful cool, fresh water
✅ Provide shade, ventilation and cool breeze ( consider using a fan)
✅Give them cool mats to lie on
✅ Engage in enrichment to boredom bust
✅ Provide rabbits and small furries with cool frozen bottles, shade, ventilation, escape from the heat and plentiful water

Apologies for my lack of posts, it’s been a busy few weeks working in practice! 🩺 I then got to spend a beautiful week at Haye Cornwall. Kate and Phil have worked so hard to provide a happy retirement to their rescue animals, including retired beach donkeys, Dartmoor ponies and ex-factory farmed chickens. It was such a joy to be hands on with the care of the animals and get to know them. If you fancy a getaway to the gorgeous Cornish countryside that includes lots of cute animals, be sure to check out their page! 💚 🐾
