Dogs and cats can succumb to hypothermia if owners don't watch for symptoms
THUNDER BAY — When the weather gets as cold as it is in Thunder Bay this week, it's not just humans whose safety can be jeopardized.
The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society warns that dogs and cats can develop hypothermia and potentially die if they're left outside during frigid conditions for an extended period. Bishop said there are specific signs to watch for, including shaking, shivering, a hunching posture with a tucked tail, whining, barking or a change in behaviour.
She said if owners believe hypothermia may have set in, they should try to warm their pet up as soon as possible, and reach out to a veterinarian.
