Summertime Fun

Summer is here and theheat is on.  This is a very important time to talk about dehydration in animals.  With the heat index in Florida yu pet can get dehydrated and suffer from heat stroke quite quickly.  Here are some signs to look for when yur pet is out in the heat for extended periods of time. 
  • Heavy panting and difficulty breathing.
  • Excessively drooling.
  • The dog appears lethargic, drowsy or uncoordinated.
  • Collapsed or vomiting.
​
If your dog/cat is experiencing any of these symptoms and has been out in the heat, the goal is to return your pet to a normal body temperature, to avoid further organ damage. To effectivly cool down your pet is directing a fan toward the animal and applying cool or tepid water directly on the skin. Cool towels saturated in water over the animal.

Helpful hints during this hot summer;

Make sure your pet has clean fresh water throughout the day.  Do not keep your pet directly in the heat for long periods of time. Give them a covered, shaded area if outside.  Walk your pet in the mornings or evening.
