He seems okay now. Checked for dehydration by pinching between his shoulder blades, learned that with my cats...seemed fine from what I could tell. One thing I make sure that they drink after walks especially when its warm.
I was also wondering if he could have gotten over heated from our walk @ 5:00. I usually carry him most of the way one way as he tricks me into it, lol. With hubby he won't act up.
Could that be something? Being over heated? |
I personally prefer checking the gums .. and, that is what my vet taught me long ago.
It honestly did not sound like he had overheated. They will pant like crazy and feel very hot when you touch them, especially their ears. It's pretty unmistakable.
Happy to hear that he is better today!
