If a dog suffers from heatstroke, it can usually only last half an hour if it is severe. If it is not serious and it is just simple heat, panting, and dehydration, it can usually be relieved by moving to a cool place. If your dog suffers from heatstroke and loses consciousness, take him to the hospital immediately and apply ice packs to his body on the way. When the owner finds that the dog is dehydrated, breathing is unstable and rapid, and the dog shows hunger, thirst, fatigue, and frequent vomiting, it means that the dog has heat stroke.

What to do after a dog has heatstroke:

1. Move the dog to an air-conditioned place as soon as possible. If there is no air conditioning, it should also be moved outdoors with good ventilation. In the shadow area, the dog’s activities must be restricted at this time.

2. Dogs cannot be given Huoxiang Zhengqi water for human use after heat stroke, as it may easily cause the dog to have some drug toxic reactions.

3. When the dog’s heatstroke symptoms are relieved, the owner can promptly send it to a professional pet hospital for electrolyte supplementation, and let the professional doctors of the pet hospital handle it.
