Dog has hypothermia

My boyfriend's dog was taken to the vet last night. They said that he has hypothermia. We got the warm blankets and all that stuff, but today my boyfriend looked at him and said that he thinks he's gonna die.

The dog is an outside dog, so he is used to the cold. Is there anything anyone might know of that we can do ?

TIA

so the vet says the dog is ok, but the BF still thinks he is gonna die? Is the dog inside now until it gets better?

You would think when temps get down in the 15-18 degree mark, people would just bring their dogs in, common sense. :shrug:

Anyone with common sense would know that if it's too cold for a person to outside, then it's too cold for a pet to be outside.

Yeah I'm trying not to flame here....but one of my neighbors leaves his dog out constantly, and it pisses me off to no end. I'm about to just unclip his lead one day and claim ignorance. Let the dog find a home that gives a dman abotu owning an animal.

Regardless, I'm hoping this isn't the case here. :whip:

But wait, there's more...
What's the point of having the dog if your b/f just leaves him outside all the time? :shrug:

Adequate food and shelter doesn't just mean "water, food and shade"; it means having the means to provide "shelter" from the elements when necessary, too.

Why and I ask why would you leave a dog out in this weather without proper shelter...I mean if you are dead set on leaving the poor critter out why not make it so he is safe..insulated dog houses also wrapped in plastic, tons of straw pig warmers or heat lamps...My dogs wont even go out to pee in this weather and if you remember I brough damm pigeons in the other night..they are fine I note..and my pig is even checked befor bedtime to make sure he has all the hay he needs for the night to sleep in....grrrrrr
