Hot weather is the time when you can enjoy the rays of the long-awaited sun. However, it can not only please, but also harm.
In this case, we will talk about the occurrence of sunstroke in a dog.
In hot weather, it is important for a person to keep an eye on their pet, since heat stroke can cause a number of problems for a dog. The Moscow Agency reports details with reference to the President of the RKF, Vladimir Golubev.
It is noted that signs of heat stroke include reddening of the mucous membranes, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and loss of coordination.
According to Golubev, without help, the pet may experience convulsions, kidney failure, loss of consciousness, gastrointestinal problems, and vomiting.
He noted that in case of heat stroke, it is important to move the dog to a cool place where there is no sun. Then it is important to carefully wet the pet's paw pads, belly area, and nose with cool water.
In addition, you need to offer your pet water and wet its gums and tongue with it.
It is added that after providing first aid, it is necessary to take the dog to the veterinarian.
