Keeping Thumpa out of the heat and immediately cooling him as you have is a good idea. I would keep him in shade with plenty of access to water, and if he doesn't start to recover, seek veterinary care ASAP once you can get ahold of your vet. Making sure Thumpa always has water and shade access, even when outside, can help prevent further heat-related issues.
