WE had a tragedy which I posted in the rainbow bridge thread.
It got hot yesterday,, the heat index of all things, and our rotti's were outside playing around. Well our older girl Polly was playing and she fell over unconscious,, we took her straight to the vet, but she got to hot, and we had to put her asleep..
It was absolutely horrible,, and devastating,, and ya know we thought they'd be okay because they had plenty of cold water, and shade,, but it just was way to hot for her......
I feel horrible,, and have been a mess all night and today, and feeling really responsible for her death, wishing I could do the day over.
The vet said when it gets that hot, water and shade aren't enough, they need to be inside or in a cool area with a fan or something... So just so you know and don't have to live through this horrific and devastating day, when your heat index is up, water and shade aren't enough....
