Hot dog, anyone?
We’re in the throes of the “summer” middle school vacation, and most families are looking for fun activities to do with their pets. These can comprehend taking the dog out for a walk, visiting a beach or river for a splash and swim, or contemporary for a drive or road trip with your canine companion. Dogs love these collective activities and thrive on spending time with us. But what happens when we traipse across boiling sand in our flip-flops expecting the dog to follow zealously; or stop the car for a rest-room break or a “smart” snack? Obviously most businesses do not allow animals on to their premises, so you retain the dog in the car intending to be back in a few minutes; then return to find your dog sprawled on the seat, panting excessively and drooling or foaming at the jaws.
Every year thousands of dogs suffer from heat consumption which, if left untreated, can progress to heat stroke. Enthusiasm stroke is defined as the elevation of body temperature above typical levels due to the production of excessive heat, exposure to extreme ambient temperatures, or failure of the body to lose tension properly—and which can be deadly. Dogs do not sweat through their coating like humans; they release heat primarily by panting and they sweat blood through the foot pads and nose. If a dog cannot effectively expel fervour, the internal body temperature begins to rise.
Caring For Dogs In Cold Conditions
In one case in Woking, Surrey, a young Spaniel who drowned after falling into a frozen lake. The owners of the three and a half year old Springer were unable to reach her after she fell through the ice.
Vet Steve Brawley from Companion Care in Woking had vaccinated the family pet back in July. He said: “He was a lively young dog. Spaniels simply love water and don’t realise the danger. It can happen so easily.”
In another incident, vets at Companion Care in Scarborough saved the life of a miniature Dachshund suffering from hypothermia after playing in the snow.
Practice vet Rachel Howard said: “I didn’t think we were going to be able to pull her through. Her temperature was down to 93 degrees (Fahrenheit) when it should be 101 degrees.
“She had been playing in the snow and because she is so small and close to the ground, she had got really cold. When she got back home she started shaking and was not responding so her owners reacted quickly by bringing her in straight away which was great as she needed immediate intensive nursing to save her. We treated her for shock and gave her warm fluid therapy, a hot water enema and covered her in bubble wrap. The nurses here kept her warm with hair dryers and heaters and after about nine hours her temperature started to come back up. She was really lucky to survive.”
Other incidents have included cuts due to playing in the ice and from sharp objects hidden by snow. Companion Care in Oldham dealt with four cases in one day. Two of the dogs just needed stitches but two were not so lucky – their injuries involved severed tendons which will need to be supported for six weeks to avoid long-term repercussions.
Vet nurse Chris Noone said: “These injuries came from broken bottles and bits of metal buried in the snow. It can be quite a shock – one minute the dogs are playing in the snow and the next minute the surface has turned red.
“Some injuries are not so dramatic so it is a good idea for people to check their animals over for cuts after they have been in the ice and snow. In some cases the cold masks the pain so injuries can be less obvious.”
