What should dogs do with mild heatstroke?

Most dogs suffer from heatstroke in summer. When the dog is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or in a closed environment for a long time, the heat generated by the body is greater than the heat emitted, and the heat in the body accumulates excessively, the dog will have serious central nervous system dysfunction. Insufficient adaptation to high temperature environment is the main cause of heatstroke in dogs. Because heatstroke may lead to the death of dogs, once the owner finds that dogs have severe heatstroke, they should be sent to a pet hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Usually, dogs with heatstroke will have the following symptoms: no appetite; Unwilling to walk; Elevated body temperature; Shortness of breath, panting; Walking unsteadily; Weaknesses; Seizure; Vague consciousness; Fall on the ground and wait. When the dog has symptoms of heatstroke, the owner should immediately move the dog to a cool and ventilated place, turn on the electric fan or air conditioner to cool the dog, and also shower the dog with cold water to help cool down. If dogs can drink water, you can feed them cold water (not ice water). When the dog's heatstroke is not serious, rest for a while and the dog will return to normal.

If dogs suffer from severe heatstroke, shock or confusion, the owner should send them to the hospital in time. On the way to the hospital, the owner can bring an ice pack and apply it to the dog. In addition, the owner should ensure that the dog's respiratory tract is unblocked. In order to avoid suffocation caused by vomiting, the owner had better lower the dog's head and keep his neck straight.

In order to prevent the dog from heatstroke, the owner should give the dog enough water in summer, pay attention to indoor ventilation and cooling, and don't take the dog out at noon. If the owner needs to go out, don't let the dog stay in a closed room. Conditional owners can let the dog live in an air-conditioned room and set a timer switch.
