  2. FEVER IN DOGS A dog’s normal body temperature fluctuates between 99.5-102.5 Fahrenheit. If the body temperature goes above 103.5 ° F (39.7° C), it can be considered a fever.

  3. HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DOG HAS A FEVER? With dogs, it is not easy to tell if they have a fever because their body temperature is generally high compared to humans. You should note that fever is not some disease but a symptom of an underlying cause. The cause could be a viral or bacterial infection or anything else.

  5. POSSIBLE UNDERLYING CAUSES Metabolic diseases Infections (most commonly, bacterial, viral, parasites, and other microorganisms) Immune disease Inflammatory conditions Endocrine diseases Exposure to drugs or toxins etc. Tumors

  6. HOW TO CHECK TEMPERATURE? Firstly, you should always have a “dog first aid kit” at your home. Keep a digital thermometer (Non- Mercury) handy. You’ll need that to check your dog’s temperature. Preparing a rectal thermometer: You will have to lubricate the thermometer’s tip with petroleum jelly or water-based lubricant. Using the thermometer: Lift their tail up and insert the lubricated thermometer gently, not more than an inch (2.54 cm). You can also use ear thermometers to take the temperature through the ears. Note the time – for digital thermometers, wait for the beeps to be over.

  7. WHAT TO DO NEXT? If your dog’s fever is more than 103.5 ° F, you must immediately take them to a vet. If your vet isn’t available, take them to the nearest animal hospital. Do not wait for the fever to go down by itself.
