How to deal with heatstroke in dogs

How to deal with a dog suffering from heatstroke:
1. Untie the dog collar first. Chest straps and other coverings, items suspended from the dog's body.
2. Get away from the high temperature environment quickly. Move the dog to a cool place, blow on an electric fan, and cool it with air conditioning. If the dog is conscious, you can give him an appropriate amount of water to drink. But don't force the crown.
3. If the above steps have no effect. You can splash cold water on your dog. Or soak the dog in water, but be careful to support the dog's head with your hands and keep the neck above the water to avoid choking in water. While soaking in water, you can gently massage the dog's whole body. Helps achieve a cooling effect and stops when the body temperature reaches 39 degrees.
4. After discovering that the dog's body temperature has dropped, quickly dry the dog's body with a large towel to prevent the body temperature from dropping too quickly. Do not use a hair dryer to prevent the hot air from causing the body temperature to rise again. Or the cold wind causes a cold.
5. After the first aid treatment is completed, quickly send the dog to the pet hospital. Continue observation and follow-up treatment.
