As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat stroke in our beloved pets. Dr. Ronald Gonçalves, an emergency medicine and critical care specialist at UF, discusses the potentially life-threatening condition. Heat stroke is a serious and often underestimated danger for animals, capable of causing severe organ damage or even death if not promptly addressed. Unlike humans, pets can’t easily regulate their body temperature or tell us when they’re overheating. On this archived episode of Animal Airwaves Live, Dr. Gonçalves explains why certain animals are more susceptible to heat stroke, how to recognize the early warning signs and, most importantly, what steps pet owners can take to prevent this emergency situation.
