Recent research by Vet Compass and the The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) showed correlation between human heat warning and heat stroke cases.

Yellow heat health alerts are now in force with temperatures expected to hit 34C (93F) in parts of the UK this weekend.

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 safe 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.

Our Story

Welcome to my website i offer a Canine Pregnancy Scanning Service based south of Bristol (North Somerst). I am very easy to find with plenty of safe off road parking... We also have acres of land outside my gate to walk your dogs Scans are carried in a calm environment and can take place any time after 28 days after the last mating, although my preference is between 32-35 days, it is not necessary to clip but sometimes, with owners permission a small amount of abdomen fur may need to be removed on excessively hairy breeds for optimum scan quality. Small breeds can be scanned lying down or standing on a none-slip table and larger breeds can be scanned by simply laying or standing on the floor. Most scans take between 15-30 minutes and confidentiality assured. The scan involves a detailed examination of the abdomen to confirm pregnancy, a picture of your bi***es scan can be emailed to you if required at no extra charge. The cost of a pregnancy scan is £25 during the hours of 9am-6pm weekdays and between 10am -12pm (although I do extended these hours please enquire) weekends outside of these times could incur a minimum charge of £30 Ultrasound scanning is a safe and none invasive procedure when scanning for pregnancy in dogs. I scan most week days except Wednesdays but please call/text if you have an emergency on these days and i will try and accommodate early in the morning or after 7pm. Cytology ovulation Testing using swabs looking at cell changes for ovulation under a microscope £15 per test I have many clients using this method rather than Blood testing, I have 30 years of using this method. Need assistance with stud work? i am very experienced having owned stud dogs for over 30 years I can perform AI prices range from £40 including extender dependant on Breed.

Trans Vaginal AI is not classed as a veterinary procedure, I hold a certificate of completion of a course in 1989. I do not offer blood progesterone testing as it is a legal requirement, only a vet can draw blood from animals, I do however work closely with Vets4Pets Clevedon who can offer this method of ovulation testing with there Idexx Machine with a result within a hour.

If you require TCI insemination I can put you in contact with the nearest Reproduction Vet as this is classed as a veterinary procedure...
