Too much swimming pool

July 18, 2016, 8:16 AM


Doctor,

Our 2-year-old Havanese male dog played with us in the pool for about an hour. Now is seems to have no energy, no interest in food, and he is drooling a lot. What should we do to help him.

Thank you.
Patrick.

Answer:


There are a couple possibilities based on the info provided. It is probably a combination of heat, irritation from treated water and possibly mild dehydration.  I will call you to discuss his status and provide a plan to get him back to normal.
