Heatstroke first aid
Frantic panting, wobbling, brick-red gums and soaring temperature are heatstroke signs. Organ damage happens within minutes — cool and transport at the same time.
⚠️ 🚨 Notfall
Ice water constricts blood vessels and traps heat — use room-temperature water.
🚨 Erste-Hilfe-Schritte
- 1Move to shade / air conditioning immediately
- 2Soak the whole body with room-temperature water, especially belly, armpits and paw pads
- 3Fan or use AC to speed evaporative cooling
- 4Measure rectal temperature; stop active cooling at about 39.4°C (103°F)
- 5Call the nearest 24-hour hospital while cooling
- 6If conscious and swallowing, offer small sips of water
⛔ Niemals tun
- ✕Don't use ice water or ice packs directly
- ✕Don't over-cool (hypothermia is equally deadly)
- ✕Don't skip the vet because it «looks recovered» — organ damage can be delayed
🏥 Sofort zum Tierarzt wenn:
- ⚠Every suspected heatstroke case gets checked
- ⚠Seizures, coma, bloody stool or persistent vomiting
