In summer, the weather is very hot. People may suffer heatstroke in this environment. Small animals may suffer heatstroke, such as dogs, cats and other animals. Small hamsters may also suffer heatstroke in the hot summer. It's easy to let us know, if hamster is suffering from heat stroke, what should we do? Today we will talk about what the owner should do when hamster heatstroke.
Hamsters after heat stroke are usually extremely excited. They run around and look excited and crazy. However, it doesn't take a few minutes for the hamster to start flagging. If it's not handled in time, the hamster will die in a few minutes. We have to deal with heat stroke as soon as we find it. We are going to move the hamster to a cool and ventilated place immediately. Don't forcibly lower the temperature of the hamster. We need to put a small towel in a small box, place the hamster face up, and cover the belly and feet of the hamster with the towel.
We can take the normal saline or add some salt to the purified water to give the hamster a small amount of light saline. If the hamster opens its mouth to breathe, the breath becomes rapid or there is no response, it can be forced to eat some heart saving pills for human consumption. Generally, the hamster will gradually return to health after timely treatment and rescue by the owner.
In about 3 hours, we need to supplement the normal saline regularly, and then let the hamster wrap in the towel to expose the space for ventilation, which can be placed in the air-conditioned room for rest. At this time, we can put the hamster's belly down, and pay attention to the warmth of the belly. When the breath is smooth and the limbs including the foot are warm, it means that the hamster is safe.
As the owner, we need to pay attention to the physical changes of the hamster at all times, care for it at all times, regard it as a good friend of human beings, and seek medical treatment in case of major diseases. To prevent heatstroke in summer, we should take care of it carefully in our daily life.
