Cooling is the key to treating heat stroke

First, move the dog to a cool and ventilated place. If the symptoms are mild, give cool drinking water, combined with physical cooling, it can generally be relieved. 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. Chlorpromazine can inhibit the body temperature regulation center, reduce basal metabolism, and reduce the temperature of the dog. The functional activities of various organs are reduced, heat production is reduced, and the body's heat dissipation is increased. Chlorpromazine also inhibits the chemical sensation of vomiting in the oblongata and the excitability of the vomiting central nervous system to achieve anti-emetic effects. Note that when the dog's body temperature drops to normal, cooling should be stopped to prevent hypothermia and collapse.

Heat stroke is the main cause of heat stroke

Summer heat stroke in dogs is mainly related to heat stroke. Dogs have a weak tolerance to heat. Heat stroke is a disease caused by overheating, overexertion and heat loss disorders. Heat stroke can ultimately lead to severe impairment or disorder of central nervous system function.

How to prevent heat stroke

1. Do not keep your dog in a sealed space, such as a car or a low bungalow.
2. Pay attention to replenishing the dog’s water at all times. Don’t let the water basin become empty, but keep it filled with water.
3. Don’t walk your dog when the weather is hot. Try to set the time in the morning and evening when the temperature is low.
4. The living environment should be sprayed with water to cool down, keep the environment moist and airy.
5. Do not let your dog use low-temperature air conditioners for a long time to avoid heatstroke due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors.
