Lemmy's a bit off today

he is looking rather sorry for himself. didnt eat his breakfast and very reluctantly went for a quick walk. i think the heat the last few days has not been good for him. he is in the living room at the moment the coolest room in the house with a fan blowing round. will see how he is in a couple of hours then might take him for a check up.

Aw, poor Lemmy. Hope he feels better sonn.

tell ya caryll the house is quiet today its not right LOL he usualy up to some kind of mischeif

They all have their off days much like us. Hopefully he will be doing better tomorrow.

how do you keep a dog cool who insists on lying in the sun had to put the baby gate on the room door to keep him in the stupid hound

There are cooling pads for them to lay on and we got Suki a collar that holds a coulpe of icepacks inside. Unless they are exercising in the heat it shouldn't be a big issue though.

well my son is home now so he has taken over the dogs care for the afternoon. he has laid on the floor with him to get him to stay in a cool room. it was the heat i felt under his armpits earlier and they were roasting. theyre a lot cooler now and he is playing (albeit on his back so he doesnt have to stand up) but he is a bit perkier than he was earlier. yesterday he was fine today the heat nocked him out before the sun was even high in the sky. they do worry you at times dont they or is just me who worries too much LOL probably the latter

Nothing wrong with being cautious. Better safe than sorry.

well i will be really cautious today he is not allowed out of the cool room unless he needs to pee.

Sounds like a good idea and hope everything works out.

Julie, make sure he gets plenty of fluids as well.
If he wont drink then give him some ice blocks/cubes or put a bottle of water in the freezer and take it out when half frozen, they like licking the condensation off the bottle.
The first few days after I bought Izzy home at 9 weeks it was 43+ degrees and I was so thankful I was still on hols and could keep my girls inside in the air conditioned house other than toilet times.

must be coming out in sympathy with Woody!
