Default Warning to dogs and people that swim in lakes and ponds

Vita emerged from the water and looked as if she was going to vomit. She threw up lake water three times.


After the third time throwing up, she lay down and closed her eyes. I began to suspect she may have heat stroke.


I immediately placed ice on her stomach and checked her gums.
They were pink. I took her temperature which was 101.9, still normal.


I then called my Vet .....


So while out walking and exercising the dog he just happened to have a
bag of ice and a rectal thermometer in his pocket. Hmmmmm!
