If your believe your pet may be experiencing heat stroke or heat exhaustion plesae proceed to your nearest 24/7 emergency animal hospital - Yavapai Emergency Animal Hospital

🚨Heat stroke, sometimes called heat exhaustion or heat-induced hyperthermia can occur easily and rapidly in dogs or cats.

☀️Heat stroke typically occurs during warmer summer months but can occur any time of the year, especially here in Arizona.

⚠️Heat stroke can affect any body system and quickly become life-threatening.
Any dog or cat body temperature over 105.0F is an emergency.

✅What can you do if you think your pet has suffered heat stroke:
Remove them from the hot environment
Place them in a cool or shaded area
Obtain a re**al temperature (if possible)
Begin the cooling process
Cool, wet towels on various body regions (inner thighs, armpits, stomach, back of neck).
Cool water on the paw pads and ear flaps.
Placing them in front or under a fan.
Call and transport to your nearest veterinary ER.
Offer fresh, cool tap water for drinking (do not force it into their mouths).

🛑What NOT to do:
Do not use alcohol on any part. This can cool them too rapidly.
Do not place your pet in an ice water bath.
Ice is not warranted, cool water alone is sufficient.
Do not shave long-haired dogs, but carefully trimming the hair may be beneficial.

⚠️Common conditions leading to heat stroke:
Any pet left in a vehicle
Hot and humid weather
Inadequate ventilation, shade or water sources
Strenuous play, exercising, hiking, etc during the heat of the day

🌡Dog’s and cat’s normal body temperature is much higher than ours (100.0F - 102.5F) and thus can easily rise to unsafe levels.
Dogs and cats do not sweat easily
They pant in order to cool themselves

❗️ANY breed is susceptible to heat stroke but some are more at risk than others; for example Brachycephalic breeds (flat faced dogs):
Bulldogs (French, English and American)
Boston Terriers
Boxers
Pugs
Lhasa Apso
Shih Tzu
Pekingese
Brussels Griffon
Mastiffs
Cavalier King Charles
Any crosses with the above listed breeds.

🔥Conditions making heat stroke a higher possibility:
Laryngeal Paralysis (Lar Par)
Obesity
Heart Disease and/or hypertension (high blood pressure)
Geriatric animals
Conditions that affect mobility
Darker or thick-coated animals
Symptoms of heat stroke include but are not limited to:
Distress
Excessive panting and restlessness
Large amounts of drool from the mouth or nose
Incoordination or being unsteady on their feet
The tongue or gums turning purple/blue or bright/brick red
Collapse

It’s foxtail season again, thanks to our wet winter months, this year they are in full force. This pesky w**d produces a barbed seed head that can work its way into any part of your dog or cat. Common places we find foxtail seeds are in the ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and the skin between their toes. These seeds are very good at digging their way through the skin. Signs related to an embedded foxtail include: licking, scratching, head shaking, or a swollen and red eye/paw, etc. If your pet has these signs and you are concerned about a foxtail you can get them evaluated at Urgent Pet Prescott, we are open 7 days a week! Patients are seen on a walk-in basis from 10a to 7p.
