Keep her indoors or out of direct sunlight. Use a fan or air conditioning if it is hot. Always provide access to fresh water. Monitor for lethargy, panting or increased body temperature. Temperature above 104 F can be dangerous. Use a rectal thermometer and sterile lube to take a reading. Seek veterinary attention immediately if her temp is elevated or if she develops any of the above symptoms.
