Even with the smallest breeds<br \/>\nneed to remember never to give dogs iced or very cold water.This was posted on another board with permission to cross post in the hopes<br \/>\nof saving another dog from having to go through this awful experience.After showing we went back to our site\/set up and got the dogs in their<br \/>\ncrates to cool off. After being back about 30min. I noticed **** was low on<br \/>\nwater. I took a hand full of ice from my cooler and put it in his bucket<br \/>\nwith more water. (Note: I use a small Playmate cooler at ringside with ice<br \/>\nwater in it also. Have for over 15 years now) I use small 2qt. buckets in my<br \/>\ncrates. He had maybe  \u00bd a bucket when I placed him in his crate after coming<br \/>\nback from the ring. We all then started to get all the dogs Ex&#8217;ed and food<br \/>\nready for them.<\/p>\n<p>I have an 18 foot trailer with AC and set up, as a rolling kennel it fits 7-<br \/>\n42&#8243; crates, and MY express Van holds 1- 48&#8243;, 1- 42&#8243;, and 3- 36&#8243;, crates. All<br \/>\nthe crates in the van have 24 &#8221; box fans over them. I had **** in his 48&#8242;<br \/>\ncrate in the van because that is the place he loves to be. He loves to be<br \/>\nable to see everyone and everything. After checking the dogs and thinking<br \/>\nthey were cooled off enough we fed everyone. As we were walking around<br \/>\nremoving the feed dishes from the crates, one of my friends stated that ****<br \/>\nseamed like he was choking. I went over and checked on him and he was dry<br \/>\nheaving and was drooling. I got him out of the crate to check him over and<br \/>\nnoticed he had not eaten. He was in some distress. I checked him over from<br \/>\nhead to toe and did not notice anything. I walked him around for about a<br \/>\nmin. when I noticed that he was starting to Bloat. I did everything I was<br \/>\ntaught to do in this case. I was not able to get him to burp, and we gave<br \/>\nhim Phasezime.<\/p>\n<p>We jumped on the golf cart to take him down to the Show vet to find out that<br \/>\nhe did not have a bloat kit, He referred us to the clinic that was to be on<br \/>\ncall, but we found out that the clinic was closed. After finding another<br \/>\nclinic that was open we rushed **** to that one. We called ahead and let<br \/>\nthem know that we were on our way. They were set up and waiting for us and<br \/>\nthey got **** stabilized very quickly. After **** was stable and out of<br \/>\ndistress we transported **** to AVREC where he went into surgery to make<br \/>\nsure no damage was done to any of his vital organs. I am very happy to say<br \/>\nthat **** is doing great, there was no damage to any vital organs, and he<br \/>\nstill loves his food.<\/p>\n<p>In surgery the doctor found that ***** stomach was in its normal anatomic<br \/>\nposition. The Doctor and I went over the events of what happened up to the<br \/>\npoint of **** Bloating. When I told him about the ice water he asked why I<br \/>\ngave him ice water, and have I always done this. I told him my history<br \/>\nbehind this practice and his reply was &#8220;I have been very lucky for the past<br \/>\n15 years.&#8221; The ice water I gave **** caused violent Muscle spasm in his<br \/>\nstomach which caused the bloating. Even though I figured his temp was down<br \/>\nenough to feed, and give him this ice water his internal temp was still<br \/>\nhigh. Dr. Vogf stated that giving dog&#8217;s ice to chew or ice water is a big<br \/>\nNO, NO; there should be no reason for them to have ice\/ice water. Normal<br \/>\nwater (room Temp.), or cooling with cold towels on the inter thigh, is the<br \/>\nbest way to help cool a dog. How Dr. Vogf explained it to me was like this:<br \/>\nIf you, as a person fall into a frozen lake what happens to our muscles?<br \/>\nThink about that, then compare that to your dog&#8217;s stomach.<\/p>\n<p>I felt the need to share this with everyone, in the hopes that some may<br \/>\nlearn from what I went through, I do not wish this on anyone. **** is home<br \/>\nnow doing fine. He does not like the fact that he has to be walked on lead<br \/>\nin the yard to keep him from running. He hates not being able to go out and<br \/>\nrough house with the others, but is doing great. So please if you do use ice<br \/>\nand ice water, beware as what could happen.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/ice-water-harmful-dogs-myth.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/ice-water-harmful-dogs-myth.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story was first published on July 11, 2013 Outline Long-running Internet warning claims that pet owners should never give their dogs ice water and cites a case of a show dog that suffered severe bloat after drinking water with ice in it. \u00a0 Brief Analysis The claims are untrue.
