tried+teed "I got this as my labrador couldn't seem to function with the clear cone we got from the vet after surgery. He managed to get it off and chew it up. This has been a far better alternative and he can still function with it on (eat and drink, etc.)" - Tanish, vet-n-pet DIRECT customer "Highly recommended as an alternative to a cone. Our dog is so much more comfortable and happier after her surgery." - Andrea, vet-n-pet DIRECT customer KONG CLOUD COLLAR Inflatable collar to help comfortably support dogs with injuries, rashes or post surgery. Heatstroke is a very serious and life threatening condition which can occur when your pet overheats and is unable to reduce their core body temperature. As a pet owner it is important to know the signs and symptoms of heatstroke, which include; c Rapid panting c Staggering, weakness or lethargy c Gums and tongue might appear dark or bright red and be sticky or dry c Salivating or drooling c Vomiting and/or diarrhoea – possibly with blood c Rectal temperature between 40-43 degrees c Seizures or Coma Some things that you can do to help lower your pet's core body temperature if they are overheating or possibly suffering from heat stroke include; c Moving them into a cool, shaded place c Use cool, not freezing, water to cool them down by offering small amounts to drink or by putting wet towels on their body, feet and head. c If you have a fan or air-conditioning this will help to aid in the evaporation and cooling. If you ever suspect that your pet is suffering from heatstroke contact your veterinarian immediately. Getting heatstroke treated quickly is instrumental in survival and recovery as it can progress rapidly and cause organ damage. It is always best that you speak to your vet even if it seems the condition was mild or has improved. HEAT STROKE
