Why does the tip of yellow dog sweat?

Tongue is a sweating tool for dogs, and sweat is not discharged elsewhere!

Dogs are very heat-resistant animals.

Because dogs don't sweat and don't stop exercising because of heat; The dog's body can't adjust its temperature, and the dog won't take care of itself and replenish water in time; The sweat glands of the dog are all on the tongue, so seeing the dog sticking out his tongue and panting means that the dog is very hot and needs to drink water to cool down or calm down. Dogs with short noses are more afraid of heat and less likely to dissipate heat than dogs with long noses.

The normal body temperature of dogs should be 37.8℃-39℃. When the body temperature reaches 40.65℃, the internal organs begin to be damaged, and when the body temperature reaches 465,438+0℃, it is highly dangerous. In a hot environment or a humid and muggy climate, the dog's body system may fail and die within 20 minutes at the earliest, so heatstroke is the biggest threat to the dog's health in summer or other muggy weather conditions.

Symptoms of heatstroke

Breathing with your mouth open, there is noise in your lungs and spit on your mouth; When walking, the body swings out of balance; Weak; I was confused and finally fell to the ground and died.

When the dog has symptoms of heatstroke, the owner should take immediate measures to save himself instead of waiting for the veterinarian. The most important thing is to lower the dog's temperature as soon as possible. The method is to bathe the dog in cold water (ice water is not allowed, which will slow down the circulation of the skin and thus prolong the cooling time), or put the dog in a cold bath to cool down. Then the dog should be sent to the veterinary clinic as soon as possible. Dogs generally don't drink water by themselves in this situation, so they should be sent to the veterinarian to take intravenous drip and other ways to quickly replenish water and other drugs for treatment.

Treatment of pet heatstroke

All pets in the family, whether dogs, cats or rabbits, have traces of heatstroke. When pets have shortness of breath, fidgeting, barking and drooling, there are already signs of heatstroke. Then you will have difficulty breathing, raise your head and lead your neck to breathe or be depressed. At this time, if proper treatment is not done, the pet will go into shock, coma and eventually die.

Prevention of heatstroke in pets can start from several aspects:

1. Living environment: Keep pets in a place with good air circulation and avoiding sunlight. If necessary, blow an electric fan or install an air conditioner indoors. (I think everyone should pay attention to this! ! ! It's not that we blow an electric fan to turn on the air conditioner for cats and dogs when we feel hot. After all, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large ... Some babies have caught a cold because of blowing an electric fan to turn on the air conditioner, and some have a stomachache, so be sure to pay more attention. )

2. Life management: Long-haired pets can shave to help dissipate heat and replenish enough water at any time.

3. Outdoor activities: Avoid taking pets out at high temperatures. If you want to go out, you must bring drinking water and reduce the amount of exercise.

4. Be alert: always pay attention to whether pets have abnormal behaviors or symptoms, especially cats or dogs with short noses, obesity, poor cardiopulmonary or liver and kidney functions, and animals with chronic diseases are prone to heatstroke. Pay special attention to feeding.

To judge whether a pet has heatstroke, the owner can judge not only by the external behavior and reaction of the pet, but also by touching or observing it. For example, whether the pet is in a hot and humid environment, whether the body temperature is much higher than usual, or whether the skin has flushing, large bleeding spots, bleeding spots, etc. Judging from the hairless part of the pet's abdomen, these are all signs of possible heatstroke.

When a pet has symptoms of heatstroke, the owner should first untie the collar, chest strap or other items wrapped around the pet.

If the pet is only suffering from mild heatstroke, such as drooling, wheezing, fidgeting, etc., the ambient temperature can be lowered first, such as moving the pet to a cool place, or blowing an electric fan and air conditioner to cool down, and then drinking a proper amount of water to recover slowly. If you have difficulty breathing and are in a dull state, you should wet your pet with cold water nearby, or semi-immerse it in water, and then send it to the hospital for rescue.

When the pet is in a coma due to severe heatstroke, wrap the whole body with ice water or ice towel, or wipe it with alcohol to cool down, or pour cold water into the rectum from the anus, and then send it to the doctor as soon as possible. Pay attention to keep the pet's head low and neck straight on the way to the hospital, keep the respiratory tract open and prevent vomiting.
