To determine whether a pet is heatstroke, in addition to judging through the pet's external behavior and reaction, the owner can also use touch or observation methods. For example, whether the pet is in a stuffy and hot environment, whether the body temperature is much higher than usual, or whether the skin is flushed and bleeding spots from the hairless part of the pet's abdomen, these are all signs of possible heatstroke.
When a pet has symptoms of heatstroke, the first step is to untie the collar and hang the items hanging on the pet. If the pet only experiences mild heatstroke such as drooling, panting, and restlessness, you can first lower the ambient temperature, such as moving the pet to a shade, or blowing it with a fan or cooling it, and then giving it an appropriate amount of moisture to slowly recover. If you are already dyspnea and are in a dull state, you should wet your pet's body with cold water nearby, or half soak it in water, and then send it to the hospital for emergency treatment.
When a pet has been in a coma due to severe heatstroke and shock, first wet the whole body with ice water or an ice towel, you can also wipe it with alcohol to cool it down, or pour cold water from the anus into the rectum, and then send it to the hospital as soon as possible. When you are sent to the hospital, be careful to lower the pet's head and straighten the neck to keep the respiratory tract open and prevent vomiting.
