You guys are great - thanks for the responses. We are most often dealing with high humidity (being on the coast), so 80 degrees can feel much warmer. I think I will use 75 degrees as Kipawa's upper range. Also, the heat yesterday came on with a bang - no buildup to it. It just happened. So there was no time for man or beast to get used to it. Anne, your comment about "a dog will keep going with you till they collapse from heatstroke" is exactly what would happen to Kipawa. He just loves his outdoors and running so much. Once outside, he does not have a "slow" setting if he is off leash.
What can we do about this..?

Mirtillo is bothered by an itch..

Definitely see a vet. I would think they will give you antibiotics, but they may have something else in store as well. That is a little disturbing for me to just play the wait and see for a couple days though.

I can't tell if that's a blister or a small scratch that has gotten irritated.
If it's just a scratch, I think I'd just put some ointment on it a few times a day
and try to keep him out of the serious dirt for a few days. -
It looks like a blister, or cold sore.
I would get it checked..
Its got to hurt. -

Its got to hurt.Yeah, thought about it.. I think it's from a plant. I believe it is cald hogweed in English. We were at training this morning (yes, again the training) and they grow there.

Could well be that it was the hogweed as I have heard of it irritaing humans skin and causing blisters.
