Signs consistent with heat exhaustion or heatstroke were reported prior to the development of cutaneous lesions in four of 16 dogs. The most common skin lesions were alopecia, erythema, ulcerations, eschars\/necrosis and crusts. Histological findings were consistent with other types of partial and full\u2010thickness thermal burns, and included coagulation necrosis in the majority of cases.
