Can Dogs Get Sick From The Heat
Can Dogs Get Sick From The Heat
Absolutely! Some dogs are more tolerant of the heat than others. There is heat exhaustion, and heat stroke...stroke is deadly. Exhaustion can be deadly if not taken care of. We had two Golden Retriever puppies that were in the shade all day, with plenty of water, and we had a very hot day just a few days after getting them. About 2-3 days after the really hot day, one of them died. His tummy was all bruised-looking and we couldn't figure out what would cause this in one puppy but not both. The vet did a necropsy and said it was like a delayed form of heat stroke. The puppy couldn't tolerate the heat, even with the shade and water. And about 24-48 hours after the intense heat, the blood vessels start breaking down, and the dog essentially bleeds out internally. He said it's very rare, which is why the other littermate didn't do the same thing. And once started, unable to be reversed. :(

Also, once a dog has had heat exhaustion it becomes even less tolerant to the heat, and can get heat exhaustion/stroke much more easier after that!
