Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?

One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...

We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!

But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.

🌟Worried about your dog and rapeseed?🌟

At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

These posts are misinformation.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.

Does your cat need microchipping?

By chipping all owned cats, they are far more likely to be reunited with their owners. In fact, accurately microchipped dogs are twice as likely to be reunited with their owners than un-microchipped dogs if they go missing. Microchipping also benefits organisations that need to identify people who sadly abandon their pets.

Do you know which microchip database your pet is registered with?
Knowing which microchip database your pet is registered with is important so that you know where to update your details should they change during the lifetime of your pet. What’s more, knowing who your pet is registered with, enables you to easily contact your database should the worst happen, and you need to inform them that your pet is missing or has been stolen.

⚠️Important Notice⚠️

Due to recent changes to dispensing regulations from the RCVS we may ask you to attend the practice with your pets for a health check with a vet before prescribing a number of medications.

Antiparasitics /flea /worm treatment- we recommend asking the vet for this treatment if you are in for any other appointment. If you require any treatment your pet will now need to see a vet at least once every 12 months.

Antibiotic based medication including ear and eye treatments- your pet will need to have a vet consultation each time there are symptoms, they can NOT be given as repeat prescriptions.

Ongoing prescription medicines- your pet will need a health check as usual at least every 6 months.

These all include written prescription requests.
