Don’t Expose Your Pet To Direct Sun; It May Become Aggressive
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Temperatures are already up and the weatherman has warned of extreme heat in the remaining months of summer. Besides humans, extreme heat affects animals. Heat makes dogs more aggressive and that is why, cases of dog bites increase during summer, say veterinarians.
Dogs are vulnerable to heat and can also suffer heat strokes. Doctors advise that during summers, pet dogs should not be exposed to direct sun and should be kept in a cool and shady place. A room that is well-ventilated and has fan or cooler will be the best. Ice cream, curd, watermelon and ice cubes will help them keep cool.
“Heat may make dogs aggressive, irritable and short-tempered so one should be careful of street dogs in summer. People can keep cold water in clay vessels for dogs just as they do for birds,” said veterinarian Dr Mukesh Tiwari. Dogs can also be given curd and rice.
According to Dr Tiwari, if a street dog salivates excessively, is unable to close mouth and its lower jaw is drooping or is trying to bite itself, it may be suffering from rabies. Information about such dogs should be given to municipal corporation immediately. If one is bitten by a dog, one should compulsorily take the full course of anti-rabies vaccination. If a dog looks thin or weak and has dry skin, it may be hungry and such dogs are even more aggressive.
