Terek,
Are they kept indoors or out?

What kind of temperature variations do you have?

What symptoms are you seeing in the dogs?

I drink the Orange juice because I like it over a vitamin C pill, love whole Oranges when I can find good ones just because they taste good.

Only after dark do I perhaps ad a little Vodka

S.L.- you tell me first about symptoms of dogs when they have stressed body.

by tarekallam on 18 November 2010 - 18:11

Moons- Symptoms are wet noses, sneezing & 38 to 39 degrees Celsius temperature. During January & February we have a variation between +20 in doors to + 14 out doors.

Can you tell me of a good source of V. C for dogs

You might see stiffness (discomfort), perhaps even shivering, might not respond as well to commands, panting excessively, a change from normal movement.

Fresh red meat would be a natural source of vitamin C to a dog.
I avoid supplements and too much can be as bad as too little.
Certain fruits and vegetables if the dog will eat them also.

A cold wet nose is not a bad sign, the sneezing depends on how much sneezing.
Could be dust or other particulates in the air.
Mucus would not be a good sign, possibly an infection of some sort.

Sneezing could be to dust or some sort of inhaled allergy.

Wet, dripping noses are normal for dogs that are hot and have been exercising, especially since you mention 38 Celsius...as that's about 100 degrees F. Are you saying that's the indoor temps?  That's hot! A dog would certainly be stressed at that temperature.

I wasn't paying attention the the Celsius/Fahrenheit difference, yeah thats hot.
Heat stress and cold stress are very different.

Op is not giving enough info, where does he/she live? And is it really that hot indoors? I'm in Maryland and in my place I, (not the dogs) like it @ 70 - 72 degrees. (winter/cold fall) But whenever I see the gang panting for no reason I know it's too warm for them., especially for the LC.  I turn down the heat and either put a hoody on or grab a blanket. I know the majority of us already know but maybe this person doesn't? Dogs' tempatures are warmer than ours..... Can't remeber the numbers but even on a mild cool temp you will see the dogs' breathe.

I've been rotating dogs between being in the house to outside running in the snow and back again for decades and have never seen the first sign of any sort of stress or illness in any healthy dog.
