Mary Hi Mary, I can relate. On Sat after I got out of the ring, I was really light headed and nauseous. Muscle aches the next day that loosened up after I got moving in the ring again. I found out you have to hydrate BEFORE you go out in a hot day instead of after, LOL! Sunday was actually hotter but I drank tons of water Sat. and in Sun am before showing again. I also carry Gatoraide or Pedialyte win my RV as I have had one of my dogs pass out after showing in the heat. They all get 1/4 Gatoraide or Pedialyte, 3/4 water in their buckets while at shows. There is also a great product called K9 Quencher.
