how can u tell if a dog has heat stroke?

Question

I'm scared help

Answer 1

Get to the vet now if you suspect this. Excessive panting, drooling, confusion, staggering, weakness. Once the body temperature gets above 107, the dog can bleed out, everything starts breaking down. Cool the dog down with a cold water hose, cool the mouth down as well, take a rectal temperature and make sure the temp stays below 103. Go to the vet now, or you can risk losing the dog.

Answer 2

Signs of heat exhaustion include heavy panting, hyperventilation (deep breathing), increased salivation early then dry gums as the heat prostration progresses, weakness, confusion or inattention, vomiting or diarrhea and sometimes bleeding. As the condition progresses towards heat prostration or heat stroke there may be obvious paleness or graying to the gums ( I realize this sign won't work for you but you might keep it in mind to ask someone about, just in case), shallowing of the breathing efforts and eventually slowed or absent breathing efforts, vomiting and diarrhea that may be bloody and finally seizures or coma. Temperatures above 105 degrees Fahrenheit are dangerous, if you have a way of taking her temperature. Most people don't carry around thermometers with them and the physical signs are usually enough to go by.

Answer 3

move to the UK my dog never gets heat stroke. If unsure take him to the vets it's cheaper than moving to the UK.
