| 英文描述 | Heatstroke is a polysystemic disorder associated with forced confinement of animals in a hot environment resulting in inadequate heat dissipation. A similar syndrome results from severe exercise in a hot, humid environment. It is rare in cats, and brachycephalic dogs are more susceptible. Complications include acid-base disturbances (commonly including hyperkalemia), disseminated intravascular coagulation, and cerebral edema. Experimentally, heatstroke does not occur in dogs until body temperature reaches 109.4 F. Dx by signs, history, temperature. |
