Don't let tragedies happen again and again!
What is heat stroke
When going out in the summer, direct sunlight on the head causes brain and meningeal congestion, and acute lesions of the brain parenchyma lead to serious dysfunction or disorders of the central nervous system, which is medically called solar radiation disease;
Not exposed to sunlight, but in a high temperature and humid environment, due to overheating, overwork and heat loss disorders lead to serious dysfunction or disorder of the central nervous system, medically known as heat stroke.
Both solar and thermal radiation diseases are neurological diseases, and their manifestations are commonly known as heat stroke.
Causes of heat stroke
Confined to a high-temperature environment with poor ventilation, such as a closed car in direct sunlight (even if it is a small slit);
Dogs are forcibly trained in the heat or taken out by their owners for too long to walk the dog;
Insufficient hydration (adequate clean water can cool the dog);
Diseases of the cardiovascular system and urinary system lead to a poor degree of heat tolerance; Excessive obesity hinders heat dissipation;
Short-headed dog breeds with high incidence of upper respiratory tract diseases do not dissipate heat well on their own;
Dogs that are often restless and very neurotic (including newly introduced, unaccustomed puppies) are also prone to heat stroke
Symptoms of heat stroke
Solar disease: initial mental depression, limb weakness, unstable gait. When severe, he fainted, suddenly fell to the ground, and his limbs were swimming.
In the middle and late stages, the function of the cardiovascular motor center, the respiratory center, and the thermoregulation center is disordered, such as the body temperature rises to about 40 degrees, venous anger (manifested by flushing, bleeding spots, blood spots, etc.) of the hairless skin of the abdomen, and the pulse is weak. Dyspnea.
Heat stroke: the body temperature rises sharply to 41-42 degrees. There are more obvious general symptoms such as overexcitation, severe mouth foaming, vomiting.
Venous distension (manifested by flushing, bleeding spots, blood spots, etc. on the hairless skin of the abdomen), the mucous membranes are bright red at the beginning, gradually cyanosis (black red or blue-purple become cyanosis, caused by hypoxia), dilated pupils, rapid heartbeat, weak pulse, dyspnea.
Solution to heat stroke
Cooling: lift the dog's bouquet (collar, chest strap), take the dog to a ventilated and cool place, turn on the air conditioner to reduce the ambient temperature;
Supplementing water can also add a small amount of salt to the drinking water, but it can not drink a lot of water quickly, so that it can lick the ice cubes.
Wet the whole body with ice water or an ice towel, or wipe the surface of the body with alcohol, especially the soles of the feet and the hairless areas of the abdomen.
In the case that the gastrointestinal sensitivity is not serious, after cooling down, you can take herbs such as Huoxiang Zhengqi water and ten drops of water to cool down.
Medical evacuation: When the circumstances are serious (such as nerve damage, standing unsteadily, coma), in addition to the above cooling treatment (must be treated first), urgently sent to the hospital.
During the transport, take care to keep the dog's head low and neck straight, keeping the airway open and preventing vomiting. If there are obvious neurological symptoms, even if the body temperature drops after the cooling treatment, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check for nerve damage.
