DENVER — Highs will reach near triple digits on Tuesday, marking the beginning of what could be another toasty summer in Colorado.
"Unfortunately, we don't because they generally don't get to us," said Dr. Jeff Sankoff, emergency physician with Denver Health."The reason being that being left in a car is often fatal.""People just are so preoccupied with other things that they're doing, they just simply forget that they have someone back there. And if the child's asleep, then there's no audible reminder," said Sankoff.
"Once the core temperature starts to increase, you start to see a breakdown of different organ processes, and the organs that are most sensitive to temperature are the liver and the brain. And once we start to see failure of those organs, then it's very rapid deterioration to death," said Sankoff. If your dog shows signs of heat stroke — excessive panting, rapid heart rate, staggering — give them small amounts of water. Avoid the urge to force your dog to drink water or submerge them in cold water.
