Give him Pedialyte to drink. Syring it to him if you have to. Offer him a bland diet. Chicken and white rice is good and bland. He should come around. Depending on just how high his temp got, he could have permanant damage, neurologically. Over the years at work I have seen dogs lose their sight, and become partially paralyzed from severe heat stroke.

When it first happens, it's good to soak em down, and apply alcohol to the pads of their feet and their ears. It can be dangerous to cool them TOO fast as well, so you gotta fo it in moderation.

Hopefully your boy pulls through, good luck with him.
