How to reduce the fever of a puppy

If the puppy has a fever, the owner needs to use a thermometer to measure the puppy's temperature first. The normal body temperature of the puppy is around 38-39 degrees Celsius. If the puppy's body temperature rises within 1 degree Celsius, you can first cool down the puppy through physical cooling. However, if the puppy's body temperature has exceeded the normal temperature by more than 1 degree Celsius, the puppy needs to be sent to the pet hospital for treatment and antipyretic injections.
1. Physical cooling
If the puppy only has a low fever and the body temperature exceeds the normal body temperature within 1 degree Celsius, physical cooling can be used first. First, you can place ice cubes around the puppy, and then use alcohol to wipe the puppy's foot pads, ears, groin, armpits and other parts with less hair to cool down. Repeat every 5 minutes. At the same time, give the puppy plenty of water to promote metabolism, and pay attention to a light diet.
2. Inject antipyretic injections
If physical cooling does not work or the dog’s body temperature exceeds the normal value by more than 1℃, you need to take the dog to the pet hospital immediately to inject antipyretic injections to avoid Worse. At the same time, analyze the causes of dog fever. Generally, dog fever may be caused by factors such as hot weather, colds, infectious diseases, etc. The owner can take the dog to the hospital for routine blood examination to determine whether there is any pathogenic infection in the body, and then take corresponding treatment measures.
