Does anyone on here have a close relative or friend that's a vet or vet assistant I can get in contact with. All are vets offices are closed for the holiday wrekend. Last night as some of you small I had to leave the realism with a 911 it's because mine and Jenny's 8 year old johnson American bulldog kept collapsing and couldn't stand under his own weight. We thought it may have been the heat cause it was 85 in our house when we got home but we have 3 fans running big ones and Windows open. I basically treated it like a heat case for a human rubbed cool towels on his back and pads and armpits got him to drink luke warm water and eat some food we have him 2 spoonfulls of his yogurt and a popsicle over 2 hours. We got him up and moving a little better but we both slept with him on the floor in the kitchen last night. This morning same thing again can't really stand he's more alert checked his gums and everything looks fine now he's favoring his right let. Any advice would be awesome we may be driving 2 a vet hospital about an hour and half away when she gets off at 2.

*update* since a lot of you were messaging me last night asking about Mac and I didn't have time to answer everyone here's an update. The doc said we did everything right for the heat exhaustion and got him recovered from that the issue now is from him collapsing he's severely sprained a ankle joint. Which anyone who has had a large breed dog it's hard to support 120 pounds on 3 legs. So we have meds to get the swelling down and icing it and slinging him so he can walk. We have to follow up with his normal vet for an xray to check for bone cancer and blood work for lhymes disease. Other than that he even walked down to the basement on 3 legs this morning to poop on his pads and is pretty chipper. Thank you all for your concern.
