Heat stroke, aka heat stress in rabbits and guinea pigs
Summer is our favourite time of the year, but for our pocket pets it can be a dangerous period. Heat stroke, aka heat stress, in rabbits and guinea pigs, occurs when heat production exceeds heat loss, leading to a high body temperature (hyperthermia) and in some cases thermal injury to tissues.
If left untreated, heat stress leads to multiple organ failure and death. It can be extremely fast. Heatstroke related fatalities are particularly common in pocket pets housed in outdoor enclosures during summer. Pregnant animals are at an increased risk.
