Hi guys,
I've been away for awhile and just wanted to jump in some. As for where to hose off, (if you can't submerge your dog in water) the major arties are where you want to concentrate as they work the hardest. They are located on each side of the testicles, on the leg and down some. (hope that's clear) next is the underarms, then the chest cavity. It is important not to give too much to drink (at once), pedialyte, gatorade are good. Remember the body is going thru alot of stress, so easy does it. Get to a vet ASAP. As far as after effects there can be many depending on how long the dog's temp was elevated. Also you want to watch for a swollen toungue and bright red ears.

I took Nando for every test under the sun, as it turns out he was diagnosed hypothyroid, so that was a contributing factor. His energy level has returned and he is tolerating the heat well, although we are very careful. Please be very careful and take necessary steps to restore body temp before going to the vet. (if possible)

Also I wet Nando under his body before he trains, not on top. If it's too hot, we stay home in the air! :)
be careful everyone!
