HEAT STROKE

DrMcKnight — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:44:56 +0000

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.

Thanks to the many years of loyal support we have outgrown our present space. We are expanding into a new space in the same location, Curlew Plaza (former Jeruselem Cafe, Mama’s Pizza). We will have more exam rooms, a larger treatment area and surgery, a hospitalization ward, as well as a special isolation ward. These improvements will allow us to provide complete care for your pet even sooner and more efficiently. Watch for our open house after the beginning of the New Year!
