The cold tile or the damp earth are capable to reduce body temperature by one degree. It should not be neglected. If the animal does not look for cold places in the apartment, slightly open a window leaf (if on the street it is cold) or curtain windows so that to create a necessary shadow and a cool.
2. At high temperature it is necessary to see the veterinarian immediately. If temperature rose in the evening or you are far from the city and cannot consult with the expert quickly, it is necessary to bring down temperature before visit of clinic. Best of all for this purpose contact cooling approaches. Wet to a dog a back and a stomach cold water or put on it damp towels. Best of all moisture evaporates from the internal surface of hips, a neck and a forehead therefore you watch that these places constantly were cool and damp.
