One of my kitties got heatstroke when the AC went out in the Mojave desert while moving. We got him to an emergency vet. One of the things they did to lower his temp was dunking him in cold water. Poor little buddy. They also buzzed his fur like a lion. It was super cute once he was feeling better.
