Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I've had and been around quite a few over heated dogs that showed the same symptoms. Most of those were on very humid days... a lot of them with temps in the 70's. Out there it was so dry... a 100 degrees in the afternoon, but you could be outside and not break a sweat. This happened around 10:00 in the morning, just starting to warm up. Kinda puzzled as to why he got so hot without the humidity.

"a 100 degrees in the afternoon, but you could be outside and not break a sweat"
Thats what gets people I think, you are sweating like crazy but never stays on your skin so you sweat even more. I drank TONS of water all day and only peed once, that water is going somewhere. Dehydration and over heating are strange enemies that are hard to fight and can begin with events that took place days prior to the actual episode. Chris talked to Roderick yesterday and I talked to Mandy about it and several good points were brought up that I will take away from bobo passing. One is the fact that a pond feels cool compared to the ambient temp outside but may not be cool enough to drop the dogs temps fast enough. Instead use rags and soak them in alchahol or vinegar and drape those over the dog and make sure there is good air movement around bothsides of his body. Another thing you can do is put ice in a t-shirt or take a cold water bottle and put it between the back legs and do whatever you can to bring the core temp down. Electrolytes work great but high temps are what cause brain damage and death. I know that in the future there are a few things that we will do different and that is what it is all about, have to learn from those situations and do better next time.

Sorry to hear that Mike. One of my dogs got extremely hot the other day. I pumped him full of electrolytes and he seems to be fine but I am concerned about his drive now.
Took him yesterday and he didnt seem real motivated but he is always been on and off.

about 4 summers ago, my bulldog Catch had a heat stroke after a lengthy battle of about an hour. One of my hunting buddies put a IV on him from his cut kit and he was up and walking minutes later. That is something we should all learn to use and have handy when needed.

I hear ya. I had two dogs heat stroke on me several years ago. One died in the field and the other one was able to hang in there until we got to the vet. The first thing the vet did was hook up an IV with saline solution and he was able to lift his head a couple of minutes later. That moment was the first sign that he might make it and he evntually did. A couple weeks ago I started carrying a 500ml IV bag with me in the field and have a 1000ml bag in the truck. |
