I live in Southern California and being a typical summer, it's gotten hot & muggy. Pickles is a short haired black American, with a tan stomach. Today I attempted something different. I put one of the squishy ice blocks under the fleece under his igloo. Pickles seems to like it as he went right in and laid down.
What I want to know about though is: can we hold him safely and have water run over him from the tap, to cool him down? I won't run it down his face & ears since that just seems wrong, but what about his body?
It was 97F yesterday & 95F today outside and around 75F indoors in our apartment.
Any helpful suggestions appreciated...
