☀️🐾 It’s that time of year where the temperature rises and the humidity increases 🐾☀️
🌡️🥵 Heat stroke is a life threatening emergency, and knowing the signs could save your pets life.
Signs of heat stroke
💨 Excessive or heavy panting
💦 Thick excessive drooling
❤️ 🤍 Bright red or pale gums
💩🤮 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🐕 Weakness, wobbling or collapse
🤯 Confusion, seizures or loss of consciousness
⁉️ How can you prevent heat stroke?
💧 Always provide access to fresh, cool drinking water
🐾 Avoid walking your pets during the hottest parts of the day
🕶️ Stick to shaded areas and keep exercise to a minimum in hot water
❌ Never leave your pets unattended in a parked car ( Not even for a second )
⁉️ Remember hot pavement and roads can burn paws
⁉️ Brachycephalic, over weight and older pets are more likely to get heat stroke
✅ What should you do if you suspect heat stroke
1. Move your pet into a cool, shaded or air- conditioned area immediately
2. Begin cooling with cool (Not ice) water, particularly over the belly, body and paws while allowing air to circulate. (Do not lay a towel or blanket over the pet this can trap heat and make heatstroke worse)
3. While cooling your pet contact us immediately to arrange treatment - Do not delay
4. Do not force your pet to drink, or over consume water
❤️ Prevention is always better, if your pet is showing signs of heatstroke every minute matters
