Abstract

Panting thresholds, plasma volume (PV) changes and cardiac filling pressure were studied during thermal dehydration in control, water deprived (WD) and hypovolemic (PEG) dogs. WD and PEG dogs showed a delayed panting threshold, apparently due to hypovolevoia. Initiation of heat stress however resulted in a transient plasma expansion in all dogs. Cardiac filling pressure did not change.
