| Re: Heat Stroke
I watched a Chow Chow fight die due to heat stroke while his elderly owners watched on, crying.
It was a VERY hot day (33C with high humidity). They were simply walking and were in the shade. The dog was panting (which you would expect) and just laid down and wouldn't get up. :(
We (I managed the veterinary clinic) put him in a cooling tank but it was too late.
Quite simply: If you don't have easy access to water, cool air and shade - leave your dog at home.
