TAILIEUCHUNG - Management of heat stroke in dogs

Heat stress is a form of non fever hyperthermia occurs when heat load exceeds than the heat loss from the body. The body temperature reaches above 105 – 106˚ F, often complicated by changes in other body system such as acid-base balance, kidney, liver, cerebral edema and blood clotting mechanism. More common in brachycephalic breeds, long thick hairy breeds, young ones and aged animals. Physical examination is marked by excessive hyperemia, panting, hypersalivation, tachycardia, and various neurologic signs. Prevention of heatstroke is achieved primarily by educating owners about proper acclimatization times, exercising during cooler periods of the day, and providing adequate shade and cool water for dogs confined outdoors. The primary goal of treatment is to lower the body temperature quickly enough to prevent further damage to vital organ tissues, but not so fast as to cause hypothermia and induce heat-producing mechanisms. | 2019 8 5 365-371 EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 05 2019 Journal homepage http Case Study https Management of Heat Stroke in Dogs P.

Introduction Heatstroke hyperthermia is a life-threatening syndrome seen in human beings dogs and other species. It occurs particularly under humid and hot condition Coris et al. 2004 and Bruchim et al. 2006 . Hyperthermia is the elevation of body temperature due to excessive heat production or absorption or to deficient heat loss when the causes of these abnormalities are .
