It’s hot summer again, and it’s not yet July and August, it’s already too hot and unbearable. In such cases, if you just need to stay outdoors for a while, you may not be able to make fun of it: if you are so hot, you will be about to have heat stroke.
But in fact, heat stroke is not a patent right, and pets can also suffer from heat stroke. Recently, pet doctor Xiao Ming's hospital has already hosted several dogs with heatstroke. Fortunately, the owner sent them here immediately, otherwise the dog would have really gone to see Marx.
What situation can cause heat stroke in dogs?
First, if dogs stay in a high temperature natural environment for a long time, for example, put them in a closed underground parking lot, and let them be in a natural environment exposed to the sun, they already have more hair, and their bodies are exhausted with less heat, which is also the most common cause of heat stroke in dogs.
In the high temperature natural environment, dogs are also allowed to participate in or carry out some theme activities that must be consumed a lot of energy, which will cause their bodies to have less water and the calorie accumulated by their bodies to not be dissipated quickly. In the past, pet doctor Xiao Ming had seen many dogs with heat stroke.
In addition, some physical factors can also cause heat stroke in dogs, such as being too obese and urinary andrology urinary system diseases, which can cause harm to the body's heat excretion.
The level of heat stroke in dogs and some emergency measures
Mixed heat stroke
Diseases: Dogs are restless, have drooling, and gradually have a breathing
Countermeasures: Cat slaves must move their dogs to a natural environment with low temperatures, so that they can blow cold air, and have standards to turn on the central air conditioner, and then feed the dogs water to fill in the water. If you have mild heat stroke, you don’t need to send your dog to the hospital, and you can relieve it independently.
Mixed and moderate heatstroke
Diseases: At this time, the dog is confused and has some unclear consciousness, his eyes are dull, and his inhalation is not smooth. Countermeasures: You can pour some water on the dog's body, or use a medical ice pack to cold compress. If necessary, dogs can be soaked in water to let the top of their heads be exposed to the river surface to avoid being choked by water. It is best not to use cold water. When the temperature of their body is less than 39 degrees, they can be sent to the hospital.
Moderate and severe heatstroke
Diseases: foaming, slumping, deep fainting, and responding to the hospital: Wet their bodies, wipe them with alcohol under their armpits and their abdomen without hair to reduce heat, and send them to the hospital immediately. When sending the dog to the hospital, pay attention to the posture of the dog, straighten their necks and lower their heads as much as possible, so that they can inhale normally and prevent nausea.
How to prevent dogs from heatstroke?
1. When taking your dog out for a walk, you don’t have to choose the hottest time range. For example, at noon, you can choose the morning or after the sun sets. The traction belts they wear should not be too tight to prevent discomfort. In addition, try to minimize excessive and intense fitness exercises.
2. When driving with dogs out, do not leave them in a closed car. Every year, many such things that cause death in a closed car are available, without exception.
3. Dogs have long hair, and many cat slaves will choose to shave their hair to achieve the purpose of reducing heat. However, the objective fact is that shaving hair not only has a very weak actual effect of reducing heat, but also continues to cause certain harm to the dog's psychological state and is very easy to cause skin diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to assist them in cutting their hair in moderation.
4. Whether you put your dogs at home independently or take them out for a walk, you need to prepare spring water for them in advance. Prevent them from heatstroke due to less water. In addition, place your dog's nest in a shaded and naturally ventilated area to prevent the sun from illuminating it.
Heat stroke of dogs is indeed quite risky. When it is serious, it will take the dog's life. I hope every cat slave can always worry about the dog's physical and mental health and prevent it before it happens.
