1. Malignant Hyperthermia

Dogs who unfortunately get sick with malignant hyperthermia will develop high body temperatures as a result of stress, excitement, activity and so on.

These puppies have damaged channels in their muscles which cause them to contract and in the end they fail to relax in a normal way.

It causes spasms and muscle twitches. What can happen if your dog is suffering from it? Severe metabolic changes, uneven and fast heart rhythm, organ failure and in some cases, even death.

You can prevent it by keeping your furry buddy in a friendly environment in order to avoid unwanted events which can cause him a heart attack and in a cool setting.

How can you treat them? After going to a vet exam, the episodes will be treated using the intravenous drug dantrolene.
