How do pet owners know if Fido is getting overheated?
Common signs of canines suffering from the too much sun may include: Excessive panting, salivation, bright red tongue, red or pale gums, thick, sticky saliva, depression, weakness, loss of balance, vomiting (sometimes with blood), and diarrhea. Taking your dog’s temperature will also help pinpoint canine heat stroke.
Normal canine body temperatures are 101.5 up to 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures of 104 mean heat exhaustion has occurred. If your pup’s temperature hits 105-that’s heat stroke. In any case immediately bring your dog inside where its cool. Hopefully you have air conditioning or a good fan. Offer cool liquids to drink. Place your dog in a cool bath and call your vet ASAP. Remove your dog from the bath and leave him or her soaking wet, wrap him up in a towel and jump in the car.
