Send signs of heatstroke in children!

The temperature rises, exceeding 40 degrees.

Under normal circumstances, the temperature of a hairy child is 38 ~ 39℃, and it will rise to 40 ~ 42℃ after heatstroke.

You can use a thermometer to clamp the thigh root or measure the anal temperature after disinfection. In addition, there will be symptoms such as flushing, massive bleeding and blood spots in the hairless part of the dog's abdomen.

Drink more water, shortness of breath.

Hair children suddenly began to drink a lot of water, shortness of breath, and even symptoms of dyspnea and drooling.

Cats seldom stick out their tongues to dissipate heat. When this happens, you need to be alert to heatstroke.

PS: When the body temperature is close to 42.7℃, there will be multiple organ failure and death! ! ! Puppies, old dogs, fat dogs, short-nosed dogs, or dogs with poor cardiopulmonary function are all high-risk groups of heatstroke.

Uneasy, the tongue turns blue and purple

Restless behavior (trying to find a cool place), heatstroke will make hairy children's heart rate accelerate, and symptoms such as palpitation and dry nose will appear, making them more and more anxious.

In addition, their eyelid margins and oral mucosa became congested and red, and their tongues showed signs of turning blue-purple.

Limb weakness, shock coma

Children fall into a state of listlessness and unconsciousness, often with paralysis, weakness of limbs, involuntary movements, and sometimes foaming at the mouth or vomiting.

See a doctor immediately at this time, otherwise it is easy to lose consciousness, shock and coma, and even die after head tremor and general spasm.

Hair child heatstroke first aid!

Send to the shade

Quickly keep the hairy child away from the high temperature environment, move to the shade to blow the fan or turn on the air conditioner to cool down. If it is in a closed room, it must be ventilated and cool.

lower the temperature

Use the existing resources at hand to cool down the hairy children. You can use flushing or towel to cover the ice to wipe the whole body to achieve cooling effect, and pay attention to ensuring good ventilation in the environment.

You can also use alcohol to wipe the foot pads, open the pores of the feet and increase perspiration. However, it must be noted that the body temperature cannot drop too low at once, and the cooling progress can be controlled by a thermometer.

After the body temperature drops, quickly dry the whole body with a towel to prevent the body temperature from falling too fast. Be careful not to use a hair dryer, lest hot air cause the body temperature to rise again, or cold air cause a cold.

PS: Once a hairy child has heatstroke, it is often accompanied by vomiting. At this time, we should pay attention to whether its tongue or respiratory tract is blocked, which will seriously lead to danger such as ventricular rest. In case the hairy child has fallen into a state of shock and coma, wrap it in a wet towel and send it directly to the doctor, and lower your head, straighten your neck and keep the respiratory tract unblocked.

Tips for spending the summer.

Shadows and shadows

Hot weather can easily dehydrate hairy children, so in addition to providing clean cold water, it must also be ensured that it has a ventilated and cool shelter to prevent excessive sun exposure. In addition, don't let pets exercise excessively in hot weather, and let pets go indoors to escape the heat in hot weather. Please choose early morning or evening when going out.

Three. Never.

Never keep your pet outdoors for a long time, it may suffer from heatstroke and suffocate;

Never leave your pet alone in the car, even if there is a crack in the window. The temperature in the car rises rapidly on a hot day, which is likely to lead to fatal heatstroke.

Never leave the doors and windows without a screen window to avoid pet jumping or falling.

Pay attention to the warning signs and symptoms of your pet.

Excessive temperature may lead to excessive panting, dyspnea, rapid heartbeat, drooling, mild weakness, trance and even collapse. When the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees, epilepsy, hemorrhagic diarrhea and vomiting may occur. Animals with flat faces, such as pugs and Persian cats, are more prone to heatstroke because of breathing problems. They and older, overweight pets with heart disease or lung disease should try to stay in cool, air-conditioned rooms.

Street protection

Try to avoid taking pets out in high temperature. If you must travel in hot weather, please don't let your pet stay on the asphalt road, lest its temperature rise rapidly or burn its sensitive foot pads.

I hope that pet families and parents can attach importance to summer vacation, take furry children safely through dangerous hot days, overcome heatstroke and have a wonderful summer ~
