Last Updated: 2024/11/22, From July to September, the foxes and raccoons enter the recovery stage, and the cubs enter the breeding stage. Heatstroke (solar radiation disease and heat radiation disease) the disease occurs in the midsummer season, when the temperature is too high and the ventilation is poor, animals are caused by brain overheating (solar radiation disease) or whole body heat stimulation (heat radiation disease) caused by direct sunlight. It usually occurs rapidly and the mortality rate is very high. Fox raccoon dog sweat glands are extremely underdeveloped, body temperature is slow, and it is easy to cause elevated body temperature, depression, swaying pace, syncope, vomiting, dyspnea, and mouth extension.

Heatstroke (solar radiation disease and heat radiation disease)

The disease occurs in the midsummer season, when the temperature is too high and the ventilation is poor, the disease caused by brain overheating (solar radiation disease) or whole body heating (heat radiation disease) caused by direct sunlight usually occurs rapidly and the mortality rate is very high.

Fox raccoon dog sweat gland is extremely underdeveloped, body temperature is slow, easy to cause body temperature rise, mental depression, pace swaying, showing a state of syncope, vomiting, dyspnea, mouth protruding, wheezing, visible mucosal cyanosis, and finally coma, spasm and death.

Postmortem cerebral hyperemia and pulmonary hemorrhage were common. When the disease occurs, the veterinary farm should immediately take cooling measures, such as watering the ground, strengthening ventilation facilities and so on. The sick animals should be transferred to a cool, ventilated shaded place; a cold compress on the head can be injected intramuscularly with 1ml of strong heart when the heart muscle is not full; and measures such as shading, ventilation and sprinkling cold water on the floor or cage should be taken for the cages in the sunny place.
