Too Much Sun
Can Be Fatal
To Livestock
Summer sun brings happy
‘smiles to the faces of most
farmeis —but it can bring
sudden death to your farm
animals, n the form of heat
strokes, heat exhaustion and
sunstrok'-'
Dangerous as these three
deadly killers are, however,
there is still much that can
be done for animals when
they fall victim to overex
posure to sun or heat
According to livestock
health experts, the symp
toms are similar for heat
stroke, sunstroke and heat
exhausting and, for prac pur
poses, so is ete first aid treat
ment recommended.
Such symptoms always ap
pear suddenly, they often ap
pear violently An animal’s
head drops He staggers or
falls unconscious The ani
mal’s breathing is labored
and his temperature hovers
between a scorcing 105 and
110 degrees
When you see any or all of
these symptoms, here is what
should be done for your am
ma’s First, move the animal
out of the sun to a cool lo
cation Pour cold water ov
er his entire body, using a
hose, buckets or the most
practical means available.
- Place ice packs over the
animals’ head and wrap them
around his four feet This
will hasten cooling and help
prevent Lamimtis. And, as
soon as the body temperature
of the animal approches nor
mal, reduce applications o£
water and ice packs and call
your veterinarian He will
have to decide if intravenous
injection is required to save
the animal’s life
