In this VETgirl online veterinary continuing education video, we discuss different ways of actively rewarming the hypothermic veterinary patient. The use of forced-air rewarming (e.g., Bair Hugger), external warming devices (e.g., hated pads, radiant heat, etc.) and resistive heating (e.g., Hot Dog warming blanket) can all be used with care.
