We have a two year old female Border Collie (Tasha) weighing about 35-40 lbs. We live in WI and this morning the temp was 6 degrees with a wind chill of about -15. We were outside for about 30 minutes and from running wild to lying on her side in a very stiff position occurred in about 5 minutes. I picked her up and carried her to a heated garage. She could not stand up by herself, her breathing was labored and shallow. and her pupils were dialated. Once I got her in the garage, I wrapped her in towles and laid her on my lap in front of the fire. Within 15 minutes she was recovering. I then carried her to the house. One hour later, she seemed to be back to her normal self. The balance of the day was uneventful,,,,, Thank God
