Poor Rea! I recommend to call your veterinarian and tell them what you are seeing. Constipation is not common in dogs and can actually be diarrhea. Additionally, constipation is not expected to be related to temperature and may be a completely different problem. Here is a link about constipation: https://www.petcoach.co/article/fiber-in-dog-foods/ Heat stroke is a very real concern, especially for a breed like a husky with a heavy coat. You need to make sure Rea has access to air conditioning or other cooling measures. She also needs an area with plenty of shade and water. Here is a link about over heating: https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-signs-your-dog-is-overheating/ I recommend to keep Rea safely indoors in air conditioning. Best of luck.
