What should you know about dog’s first aid in case of heat stroke?
Heat stroke is not uncommon in the summer. Giants like Mastiffs, by virtue of their size are prone to overheating. Although the article may be useful for the owners of any other breed. Do not leave your Mastiff on a hot pavement or direct sunlight in hot weather, especially in the afternoon. If it happened so that you were in such situation, find shade, give your dog fresh water (but only in small amounts) and cover it with a wet towel. It should be emphasized that you are to give a little water, otherwise you can cause gastric volvulus, which is likely for the dogs of this breed. It would be great to spray your dog's muzzle with water.
Heat stroke occurs when the body temperature raises above 41 degrees Celsius and the internal organs literally begin to "boil". If such a terrible thing happened with your Mastiff, the first thing you need to do is to remove the dog from the environment where the dog was overheated. The word environment is used here, because overheating can occur not only in the open air, but also, for example, if you left your dog in the car.

If there is no hose, you may wet towels in these areas. Do not let the Mastiff drink. Moisten the dog’s mouth and put a cool towel on its head. If possible use alcohol or vodka to cool the dog, because its evaporation decrease the temperature faster than water.If there is fan, put it next to the dog. If the vet will not come soon, move to the next step. Give the dog a cold enema. If there is no enema at hand, you may use a hose or a plastic bottle, greased with cream. Typically, these actions will revive the dog.
