Climate change has already given us a couple of heat waves with some other disastrous consequence in Spain. And for what we are warned, forecasters are not going to be the only ones of this summer 2017 in the whole northern hemisphere. So today, before any other recommendations for the proper care of summer and pre-summer for our dear friends, I will talk about how to protect them from high temperatures.
1.- General rules.
The temperatures reached (up to 50 ° C in minutes) mean that every summer we have increasing numbers of animals that have died for this reason. The cause of most heat hits on dogs in summer is this!
2.- Dogs
How to detect a heat stroke on dogs?
It is essential since you have to act quickly, if you wait for the arrival of the vet, it may be late. When a dog’s body temperature reaches 42-43 ° C, the symptoms it presents are: Dizziness, feeling that the dog is ill, breathing with difficulty, panting, he can not walk, loses balance, tachycardia, elevated temperature, congested mucous membranes, vomiting, diarrhea and, sometimes, shock or loss of consciousness.
The most correct way to moisturize a dog is to offer cold water and wet it, mainly behind the head, abdomen and legs. It also helps to put wet and cold cloths on the snout and places where they have less hair, as well as do all this in a cool place and even with the help of a fan to remove the heat that is coming off. It is important for dogs to have a place like a small pool or pool, where they can refresh their paws, face, and their whole body taking a dip.
