Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old male Great Pyrenees was brought in showing signs of heat exhaustion, which can happen when dogs get too hot. Despite receiving treatment that included fluids, antibiotics, and cooling methods, the dog's condition did not improve, and sadly, euthanasia was chosen. A closer examination of the dog's tissues showed severe damage caused by extreme heat and shock.
