Temperatures near 50 degrees in Europe, heat-related deaths of dogs and cats

The heat wave that has swept across Western Europe is also causing ground temperatures to rise, with values ​​reaching 48 degrees in Madrid, 44 degrees in Rome and 46 degrees in Poitiers in France, as well as in Zaragoza in Spain.

This is shown by the discoveries of the Sentinel-3 satellites of Copernicus, the Earth observation program of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the EU Commission.

Since the start of the heat wave in France, veterinary visits for dogs, cats, but also rabbits and birds have increased significantly.

This was reported by the French veterinary emergency service 3115, which recorded "an increase of almost 10% in mortality among animals treated in emergency rooms compared to the same period last year."

"For cats, it is a prolonged process, which develops after several days of heat and progressive dehydration. In dogs, symptoms appear mainly in the first two days; after that, people take the necessary precautions," explains one of the veterinarians making home visits in the Le-de-France region, one of around 50 departments that recorded temperatures above 40°C on Wednesday.

Among the precautions to take at home once it gets too hot: closed shutters, water containers in several rooms, cooling mats, and wet food for cats.

For dogs, the immediate priority is to cool them down in a cool place, wet their limbs, and then wrap them in a damp towel.

But some animals die before they can be seen by a vet. Heatstroke is "fatal in one in two cases."

Puppies, obese or elderly animals, and brachycephalic breeds are most vulnerable.
