狗狗有可能中暑吗?
首先来回答一下,狗是可以中暑的 先来讲讲高温导致的中暑分为两种原因,一种是体内中暑(Dehydration)又称为热痉挛或热衰竭;第二种是体外中暑(Exposure)又称中暑休克、日射病及热射症等. 一.体内中暑 Dehydration can be caused by not drinking enough water when the body temperature is higher than normal, or because of illness that causes vomiting and diarrhea from which a lot of fluid is lost. Body dehydration may result in muscle cramps, nausea, dizziness, headache, and weakness。
当环境温度高于身体体温时,人就会出汗散热,但这时如果汗腺无法正常运作或是停止排汗,就会造成脱水现象并引起内中暑。 常见于幼犬与老犬身上,还有刚出门回家就急着把毛梳开的狗狗也会因一时无法适应环境的温差而中暑(因为有些狗狗在冬天会为了保暖会脱掉一层绒毛)。
二.体外中暑 This usually happens after the body loses its ability to sweat as it did during exercise, resulting in heat retention inside the skin or internal organs. When the core body temperature rises above 40°C (104 °F), brain function begins to deteriorate, leading to seizures, confusion, lethargy, coma , and death if not treated quickly and effectively. The risk increases with age due to decreased physical stamina; this makes older dogs more susceptible to heat-related illnesses. Also at risk are overweight dogs who cannot cool themselves quickly enough, but also smaller breeds such as pugs and French bulldogs whose airways are small and narrow, making them difficult for their bodies to regulate temperature.
其实无论是哪一种中暑都是由于气温过高和动物自身的原因所导致的,所以如何预防中暑才是我们该考虑的问题!
预防方法总结起来也就那么几个重点啦~
1.降低室内温度,保持通风良好
2.让狗狗远离高热物体(例如电风扇、冷气机以及太阳)
3.保证狗狗有充足的水分供给
4.避免让狗狗剧烈运动之后马上晒太阳 5.夏天应尽量减少外出玩耍
6.外出时尽量避免阳光直射,最好带狗狗到阴凉处活动
7.多给狗狗喂食含水量高的食物
8.准备一些降温用品帮助狗狗及时降温
9.给狗狗洗澡的时候不要洗太久,洗完赶快吹干。
