Hyperthermia (heatstroke)
Most commonly due to being kept in a hot environment, e.g. a car in sunny weather, or overexertion on a hot day. This can be rapidly fatal, so wrap the dog in cold water soaked towels, place in front of a fan or in a draft and take to the hospital as soon as possible.
The majority of stings and bites are transiently painful with some local swelling, which subsides in a matter of hours. Should your pet's breathing be affected, or he/she appears unwell, then contact us without delay.
