As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat stroke in our beloved pets. Dr. Ronald Goncalves, an emergency medicine and critical care specialist, brings his expertise to Animal Airwaves-Live to discuss this 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. Dr. Goncalves will explain 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.
