This is the time of year that we see Heat Stroke. The Spring and Fall are the most common times because the temperature and humidity are changing. People and their pets do not realize how hot it really is. Not only can pets succumb to heat stroke in locked cars or confined spaces, but they can also suffer frome heat stroke due to overactivity. I have seen dogs literally run themselves to death. They try to keep running to please their owner and die trying. Signs of heat stroke are excessive panting, feeling warm to the touch, being disoriented, and collapse. A dog’s normal temperature should be no greater than 102.5. Anything above 105 is life threatening. Should you think your pet may be suffering from heat stroke first rinse him off with water and then get him to a veterinary facility ASAP. Just because his temperature has decreased does not mean he is out of the woods.

Animal Emergency & Urgent Care is proud to be a “Leader of the Pack” sponsor of Mardi Party for Pups 2010, our sixth consecutive year as sponsor. Last year was a great celebration as we saw fabulous costumes on a lot of happy dogs. The Main Street Walk (aka parade) is great, with some hysterical costumes. Bring your kids too because it’s really a blast for them. Visit the pet related vendors for lots of cool pet stuff. This year’s celebration will be held Friday evening (instead of Saturday morning) Feb. 12, 5:30 PM-8:30 PM., in Pioneer Park, Dunedin, FL. The Costume Judging & Main Street walk starts at 6:30 PM. Be there!
