You know I have been whining about all the "issues" we are facing currently. Well, to keep in line with everything going on....SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED...
Earlier today, I needed Len to run an errand for me. He was so kind to offer and he took our dog for a ride too!
Fast forward....3 HOURS...
We are home and Maclaine has a fever spike and needs more Motrin. Len was going to run out to get that for us and was once again going to take the dog for a ride.
Well, the dog was not in the house.....YEP, He was still in the car.
Windows up about 98 degrees out. Total panic set it and Len got him out. That poor thing looked awful. We threw him in a cold water bath and called the vet. When I took his temp, it was steadily rising and when it quickly reached 108 degrees it was decided to take it out and get him help.
The vet was vey surprised that he made it through this. We thought he would surely die. Rest assured that after IV fluids and some bloodwork, that dog looks better than he did prior to all of this.
He is staying close by and not too sure about going out to pee, but other than that he is one lucky dog and we are very relieved that this had a good outcome!
