Any longer hair dog can suffer from heat exhaustion its not just cockapoos, to cool him down give him a cool bath, that will bring down his body temperature, give him water but not ice water, dogs sweat glands are on their feet and their noses, when running around their feet can't sweat to cool their bodies down, and panting also cools them down, my dogs hate the heat and will not stay out for any length of time, cockapoos generally do love the winter. If he has long hair cut it shorter, longer hair holds the heat, but not bald because hair also is there insulator. If he isn't better I would make a trip to the vet, heat stroke shows some of these signs too. In a message dated 9/3/2008 9:39:44 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
We called the emergency vet, and they said that heat exhaustion is very common in cockapoos. I did not realize this, and Im wondering if anyone else has. We have been spoon feeding him water to get him hydrated, and letting him rest. If anyone has any other advice, I would greatly appreciate it! ~~ Susan ~~ & The Poo Gang Mikey, Buffy, Amy & Lacey ~~~ "When you feel dog tired at night, it may be because you've growled all day long." -- Unknown **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
