311Hemi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think you should consult a vet. What were the symptoms your dog displayed and how long after did the dog recover?Quote:A dog suffering from heatstroke will display several signs: * Rapid panting * Bright red tongue * Red or pale gums * Thick, sticky saliva * Depression * Weakness * Dizziness * Vomiting - sometimes with blood * Diarrhea * Shock * ComaCould she die from heat stroke....YES! And if this was in fact heat stroke delayed complications can exist. Especially if any of the last 4 symptoms occur. Now....there could be other things that you mistakenly took for heat stroke such as EIC or hypoglcemia. I would recommend checking out the info on EIC to see if this is what your seeing from your dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
