Sounds like heat stroke. Why was she outside in that kind of heat?
It does. My lab mix died 13 years ago in 104 degree heat.
I felt very guilty that I didn't come home just 1/2 hour
earlier from work to MAKE him come in from the heat. He
did have that choice though. He could have been indoors
in air conditioning via a dog door, but chose to be outside
in that brutal heat.
My neighbor said he was barking at a passerby just 1/2 hour
before I came home (a favorite activity). It was a horrible
day, but had he been alive and in distress when I came home,
I would have stopped passing cars if I hadn't been able to
lift him myself, if it meant getting him to the vet to LIVE!
<snip idiocy>
Rule of thumb - never own a dog you can't lift
or figure out how to lift. Life may depend on it.
