Dogs dissipate heat through the evaporation of liquid on the surface of the tongue. When the environment becomes hot and humid, the heat dissipation effect is not good, and the dog's body temperature will increase, the metabolic rate will increase, and the body temperature will rise. The speed will be accelerated, and such a vicious circle will easily lead to dehydration and poor blood circulation in dogs, which hinders the dissipation of heat. Finally, due to insufficient blood flow to the liver and kidneys, metabolic disorders will occur, resulting in brain hemorrhage and edema. In severe cases, seizures, tremors, coma and even death can occur.

[Basic Information]

Family: Heatstroke

Symptoms: Dehydration, edema, tremor, epilepsy, coma, dyspnea, salivation, fever, and vomiting

Dogs continue to stay in a high temperature environment. If proper precautions are not taken, they may suffer from heat stroke. In addition, external factors such as humidity, lack of air circulation and insufficient water intake Factors that make dogs physically uncomfortable and prone to heat stroke.

【Main Symptoms】

The main clinical symptoms are high fever over 41.5℃, rapid heat dissipation of the body surface and rapid expansion of blood vessels, resulting in a drop in blood pressure. At this time, the blood flow through the lungs Severe insufficiency, the body reacts with panting and rapid heartbeat, a large amount of dehydration leads to a decline in blood circulation function, the water in the blood decreases, the viscosity increases, blood spots appear on the microvessels on the body surface and insufficient blood flow to the kidneys, resulting in decreased urine output. Long-term panting can cause edema in the dog's throat.

【Diagnostic Criteria】

Diagnosed by changes in clinical symptoms and body temperature.

【Treatment method】

First, remove the dog from the high temperature place, rest or lie down in the shade, lower the dog's head, and increase the blood supply to the brain . Use cold water to wipe the abdomen and neck, supplemented by fans to accelerate heat dissipation, but the water temperature should not be too low, low water temperature will cause the blood vessels to contract violently, and the heat dissipation effect will not be achieved.

When a dog suffers from heat stroke, the throat is prone to edema, causing suffocation. In order to make the dog breathe smoothly, the neck should be straightened. If the dog continues to be in a coma, it should be sent to the doctor immediately. If suffocation or shock occurs during the process, CPR should be performed. And pay attention to try not to walk the dog when the weather is hot, and to do a good job of heatstroke prevention and cooling, and give enough water.
