Summer triggers a spike in veterinary emergencies like heatstroke, burned paw pads, insect stings, and toxic ingestions (e.g., picnic scraps, salt water).
Heat stroke can be very scary and deadly. Here's what to do!~
Get your dog out of direct sunlight and into the shade or an air-conditioned room.Apply cool (not freezing) water. If you are near a lake or a river, get IN with your dog and stay put for at least 5 full minutes. If you are not near water, get your dog’s body wet, especially their neck, armpits, and groin area.Turn on a fan: Pointing a fan directly at the wet fur will help cool the body via evaporation.Never use ice or ice water: Extreme cold can cause blood vessels to constrict, trapping internal heat and leading to shock.Offer water, but do not force it: Let your dog drink cool water if they want to, but avoid pouring it down their throat to prevent choking. Take the temp, if over 103...keep going with the cooling procedures!
Happy Summer and BE SAFE OUT THERE!
