Heat Stroke in Dogs, Cats, and Other Pets
Filed Under: Dogs, Cats, General Care
Looking for a cool shady place with a cold drink to escape those warm summer temperatures? Maybe a dip in the pool or the lake will provide some relief. Some of us just hate to go outside the house during the middle of the day when we are fortunate enough to have an air-conditioner in those midsummer months. Just think of how bad it would be to have on a fur coat and have to pant to release excessive heat. Don’t forget your best 4-legged friends when trying to escape those dog days of summer. Your pets are more sensitive to heat stroke than you might think.

By Dr. Susan Muller Esneault on Sunday, February 1, 2009The day had been rather routine and uneventful, at least until the off-duty police officer walked in. I was suddenly presented with a brindle boxer puppy all of 18 weeks old named Ruth. She was carrying her left rear leg and we could see the intense pain in her face, yet her whole back end shook as she tried to shake her nub of a tail to greet you.

Canine Parvovirus
Worried about the “New Parvovirus?” Don’t be! If your pet is adequately vaccinated for parvovirus, then they will be covered for the newer strain.

So if your dog has not been vaccinated in the past year for parvovirus, see your veterinarian today! Don’t delay! It could mean the difference between the life and death for your four-legged friends.
