FYI..... RAPID cooling with the coldest source available is what saves dogs with heat injury.

Working in ER this past week: We had four heat injuries each day for two days straight. Four of these were French Bulldogs, which happens to be the most common US breed these days. The others were three Rottweilers (brachycephalic by exam) and one Pit X.

Only ONE survived. NOT a Frenchie. Not a brachycepahlix breed. The Pit X.

Why? He happened to be playing in a pond. He ran and played with kids on land and then in the shallow pond water in 95 F 85% humidity weather until he collapsed. The humidity at his breathing level was probably a lot more, since it was approx 12 inches above water level.

They recognized a problem and brought him in… from one hour away.

On arrival
he was HYPOTHERMIC. Low body temp. Typical of heat injury. We warmed him up, treated his other abnormalities and within a
few hours he waa normal. Like NORMAL. No kidney failure. No coagulopahty. NO PROBLEMS.

Why is this? Probably because this dog reached critical heat injury when he happened to be in the best environement for treatment… IMMEDIATE cooling in water that was colder than him.

RAPID cooling with the coldest source available is what saves dogs with heat injury.

It’s time ro let go of the old wive’s tales of how ice water causes vasoconstriction or that rapid cooling is bad. HEAT is what causes death in heat inrjury, not the coolong method.

Too many dogs
Too many people with senseless breeding instead of spay and neuter
Too many pet people looking for a house to rent
Too many landlords not interested in renting to pet people
Too many pets become abandoned
Too many euthanized because of lack of homes

Nora is ready for her furever home through Wyoming Dachshund and Corgi Rescue!
This lovely black and tan Dachshund lady just turned 10 this year but you would never know she's a senior. She is spayed, microchipped and all up to date on her vaccines and heart worm prevention.
She is happy, loving and is always ready for a walk or a group bark session in the backyard. Nora came into rescue a little overweight but has dropped a few pounds thanks to portion control and exercise. She would love if that can continue in her new home. Nora is good with other dogs and with cats. She is house trained and uses a doggy door but will need some patience in her new home as she takes a week or so to adjust. She can also have separation anxiety and will bark if left alone. If there is another dog in the home, she's fine so we want her to have a fur sister or brother so she won't get lonely.
Nora is being fostered in the Fort Worth area and available for adoption within a 4-5 hour driving distance.
To apply to adopt Nora, please complete our application at this link: https://form.jotform.com/72074690104148
