| Over heated and throwing up Can throwing up be caused by being overheated? A couple of days ago, Hot Rod threw up for no apparent reason and kept salivating as though he wanted to throw up more. He had been fine all morning and then we went for our walk at about 2:00 pm and it was really hot. I was wondering if he could have gotten overheated and that was why he threw up. The vet said to not feed him that night and give him a bland diet in the am and to bring him in if he wasn't any better or I could leave him for observation for the day. Well, after a couple of hours he was better and he did want to eat so I gave him some food, the next morning he was totally fine and back to running around. He's been fine since then too. Could it have been due to being overheated?

| Yes it can be caused by the heat. We just really have to watch our babies in this heat. I am glad he is feeling better. |

| They're very sensitive to heat Mine love to go outside, heat, cold, rain, or snow, but I limit them to ten minutes out when it's hot (85f or more). Two of them like the outdoors so much they'd stay there until they dropped dead of heat exhaustion if I allowed it. Simply keeping a bowl of water outside for them isn't enough in extreme temperatures. They can still overheat even if they don't dehydrate. It's a very, very good idea to keep some Pedialyte at your house for emergencies. This will help them recover from illnesses that cause them to throw up when you can't feed them. This applies not only to dogs, cats, etc., but any small mammal. One of my ferrets was on it for days after a bad reaction to a distemper shot. It comes in a lot of different flavors, and I always keep one bottle of the unflavored and one bottle of a fruit flavor. I give the fruit flavor ONLY if they won't take the unflavored, which basically tastes like water. The fruit flavors are fine if they're used very sparingly. You just don't want to get them addicted to sweet drinks and encourage them to be finicky. |

| Thanks for everyones reponses. Since this has happened, we go for our walks first thing in the morning (7/7:30 am) when it is a bit cooler. When we go out later in the day it is only for about 10-15 minutes, just enough to do his business and walk around the house and get mail. As soon as we come inside I take him to his water bowl.

| Overheating is a big issue where I live too. I do not take Suzi out much right now, because I am scared of that. She is only 4 months old, and loves to run around like crazy outside, she could easily get sick.

| Hi all- I am new to this site, bare with me. I found this site by searching for my Yorkie, Bentley sickness. About a week and a half ago he started salivating heavily. I did not take him to the vet immidately, I waited a few days. He vommited a few times then decited to take him in. All the test came back normal. (bowel sample and blood work) It is believed to be from the heat. That is what I have found in most-yorkie "salivating issues." My question is, how can I lesson his salivation? What is "normal?" My boy pup, Bentley is 8 months old and the cutest! |
