Hello, sorry to hear about Coco. Normal temperature in dogs can range between 99.8 and 102.8. Coco may have something else other than heat stroke and she may need to be examined by your veterinarian further. Monitor for any signs of vomiting, a decreased appetite, and diarrhea and if you note any, then she should be seen immediately as this could indicate her having parvovirus. If her temperature gets above 103 degrees Fahrenheit, then she could have an upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia and should also be evaluated immediately. In the interim, continue to offer her regular puppy food and water, but don't hesitate to contact your veterinarian if you note any of the above signs. Hope this helps and best of luck.
