First aid method for mild heatstroke in puppies

Symptoms: Rapid panting, restlessness, barking and drooling.
Rescue measures:
1. Untie the collar and chest strap as soon as possible.
2. Move the pet to a cool and ventilated place, or use an electric fan or air conditioner to lower the ambient temperature, but do not blow the dog directly.
3. After the situation improves, give appropriate amount of water to slowly recover, but do not force it in.

First aid method for moderate heatstroke in puppies

Symptoms: Difficulty breathing, lifting the head to breathe or dull eyes, slow reaction, and involuntary movements.
Rescue measures:
1. Wet the dog’s body with cold water, or half-immerse it in the water (the head and neck leak out of the water). When soaking, do not use all ice water to avoid a sharp drop in the dog's body temperature.
2. When soaking in water, gently massage the body to help the dog cool down.
3. When the body temperature drops below 39°C, you can dry your whole body with a towel and do not use a hair dryer.

First aid method for severe heatstroke in puppies

Symptoms: Sudden coma, shock, high risk of death.
Rescue measures:
1. Wrap the whole body with a towel wet with ice water, or wipe it with alcohol to cool down, or pour cold water from the anus into the rectum, and then send it to an animal hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
2. On the way to the hospital, be sure to lower the dog's head and straighten its neck to keep breathing smooth and prevent vomiting.
No matter what degree of heat stroke it is, although we take first aid measures within the golden time, we still cannot take it lightly. Because heat stroke in dogs is likely to cause serious damage to the brain and nervous system, even if the dog's heat stroke condition has been relieved and the body temperature has dropped to normal, it is still necessary to send it to the animal hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Pay attention to post-illness care

Nutritional supplements are crucial for dogs in the recovery period.
Pay attention to your diet: Eat less high-oil and high-fat foods, reasonably control your caloric intake, and ensure adequate protein intake. The supplement of highly digestible ingredients minimizes gastrointestinal burden and ensures nutrient absorption. Through functional nutrition, you can strengthen your immune system and resist viral invasion during the recovery period.
