I have a 7 year old jack russel named Elvis
and I live in Australia so we have been having extreme heat (41 degrees) .
He has been lying down and not doing anything but heavy panting and not even getting up for a drink.

I am worried about him i have soaked a towel and placed it over him and put ice in his water but i feel i could do more…also he is an outside dog

i have two jrt s
i wet them in the bath and put ice cubes in their water

   make sure the water in the bath tub is not to deep so he can lie down. Remember that he will be exhausted from the heat so he will not want to stand.
