Dogs are humans' loyal companions, making us happy, providing comfort and protection. However, when a dog’s body becomes abnormal, we must take timely measures to protect their health. How should we respond when a dog's normal body temperature is 42 degrees?
Here are some effective ways to help you deal with this situation.
First, please understand the normal body temperature range of dogs.
Like humans, dogs have a limited range of normal body temperature.
Generally, a dog's body temperature ranges from 37.5 to 39.5 degrees Celsius .
If the dog’s body temperature reaches about 42 degrees, it is considered too high and emergency measures need to be taken.
Once it is discovered that the dog's body temperature is too high, the most important thing is to cool down the dog's body.
Please do not expose your dog to high temperatures and sunlight, as this will cause the body temperature to continue to rise, which may lead to body organ failure.
Put the dog in a cool and ventilated place, and slightly soak the dog's face, ears, neck and belly in cool water.
This will cause the dog's body temperature to drop rapidly.
At the same time, you can use ice packs on the back of your dog's neck or inner thighs to further cool down your dog's body.
Also, providing your dog with plenty of water and electrolytes can help protect their health.
In the case of significant dehydration, symptoms such as thirst, dry mucous membranes, and dry eyes will appear.
Therefore, let the dog drink water all the time.
In addition, you can feed your dog drinks and snacks containing electrolytes, which can supplement your dog's physical strength and nutrition.
Thereby ensuring that their bodies are in good condition.
At the same time, if the dog's body temperature is too high, you can use medicine to cool it down.
However, please be careful not to use your medicines as some human medicines can be harmful to dogs.
Before taking any treatment, consult your dog's veterinarian to make sure there are no negative side effects of the medicine you are using.
After the dog's body temperature returns to the normal range, the dog should continue to be observed and must ensure its safety and health.
At the same time, long-term preventive protection is necessary to avoid major health problems.
In general, if you find that your pet dog has a high temperature, do not panic.
Take emergency measures immediately measures, and remain calm.
By cooling your dog's body, providing adequate water and electrolytes, and consulting with your veterinarian for appropriate medications, you can protect your dog's health and safety, as well as improve his quality of life.< /p>
