| They get red skin just like people and it is sore. I have not seen them act much different. They will act different if they become over heated and get a heat stroke which can be life threatening. If you have a pup thats been out in the heat and it is not acting right and breathing different take it to the vet. I lost a dog once to heatstroke.

YorkieTalk Newbie! | TFTP (thx for the post) he was out very long one day but i guess i brought him in just in time. He didn't jump around for a while but he eventually recovered. The reason i asked is because he started loosing hair. The vet said he had been scratching it off due to some allergy and gave him prednisone! So i'm on a 10 day journey! wish me luck.
