1. Move the dog to a cool and ventilated place. If the symptoms are mild, give cool drinking water, coupled with physical cooling, it can generally be relieved. .
2. For dogs with severe heat stroke, physical cooling and drug cooling can be combined, and methods such as cold compress, cold water enema, intramuscular injection of chlorpromazine, and Qingkailing infusion can be used
3. Note that when the dog’s body temperature drops to normal, cooling should be stopped to prevent hypothermia and collapse.
Causes of heat stroke in dogs
1. Keeping the dog in a place with high temperature and poor ventilation for a long time, or forcibly training the dog in the hot summer. As a result, the ambient temperature is higher than the dog's body temperature, and the dog's body heat dissipation is restricted, making it impossible to maintain normal metabolism.
2. Dogs’ cardiovascular and genitourinary system diseases, as well as excessive obesity, can also hinder the dissipation of heat.
