I lost a good young dog yesterday to heat stroke. We struck a group off a protein feeder and the dogs went 1,000 yards before they shut down a big sow. Bobo was staggering around after we got her tied. Got him cooled down in the water and pumped him full of electrolytes... just like i've always done to others in the same situation. Lost him a few hours later.  |

I really hate that you lost him Mike, I really enjoyed hunting behind him and just being around him, he was a good dog. Just goes to show how the heat can take any of em at any time, he was in shape in healthy but the heat effects all of us.

Hate to hear about you losing your dog. The heat is brutal this year it seems. It was 96 here today and about 100% humidity. Not exactly good hunting conditions.......so you guys be careful with those dogs and watch out for the snakes & gators!
I have definately cut down on summer hunting after getting Monkey overheated last summer and about losing him.

Really hate to hear that. Something like that happened to our catch dog (ammo) about a week ago. He didn't die but it was touch and go all night. Got so hot he just went limp on us, like a dish rag. Took him to a drain ditch that had a little water in it. When we got him home he couldn't keep his head from shaking and his pupils were diatated. Took hem a few days to get over it. Now we take an icechest full of water for the dogs with us and started hunting at 8pm instead of 6pm. Mornings are just too hot also.
