    Heat And Walking

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Speaking of heat. I just had a horrifying event with my Greyhound a couple days ago. I live in Grand Junction, Co. It was 100 degrees and I had to let my Grey and Saluki go potty around 6 p.m. The back yard has no shade. I was going to watch them do doggy duty and bring them right back into the house. They both took off to run a lap in the yard. (Not very big yard.) The Saluki, Wafi, was fine. Samlur, my Grey ran one lap an collapsed. His tongue turned blue, mouth open, eyes glazed. Breath shallow. After five minutes of rubbing his chest, my husband picked him up and carried in the house. I covered him with a with a wet towel. Misted his feet with water kept massaging, After half hour he started coming around .He evacuated his bowels. I gave him ice cubes after misting his mouth. He was sluggish all evening. Luckily he is fine now but I only take him out on leash to do his duty and right back in. Very scary. Do you think it was heat stroke. My vet was out of town.
