Dogs with fever have symptoms such as listlessness, elevated body temperature, decreased appetite, and dry nose. When the owner suspects that the dog has a fever, he or she can use a thermometer to measure the dog's rectal temperature or the temperature of the inner thigh. If the measured temperature is above 39.5 degrees Celsius, it proves that the dog has a fever. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time to prevent high fever from damaging the dog's health.

1. listlessness

Generally, healthy dogs have high energy, are usually lively and active. After a fever, the dog's energy will become worse than before. He always likes to lie on the ground, drooping his head, and becomes particularly lethargic and appears to be very lack of energy.

2. Increase in body temperature

Body temperature and height are one of the most obvious symptoms of dog fever. The normal body temperature of dogs is generally between 37.5-38.5 degrees. If when measuring the dog's temperature, it is found that its body temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees, it means that the dog does have a fever. At this time, the owner needs to cool down the dog and reduce the fever in time.

3. Decreased appetite

Dogs, like humans, will lose their appetite and not want to eat after having a fever. Even if they are given their favorite food, they will have no interest or appetite. This is because fever can cause disorders in the dog's gastrointestinal tract, causing it to have no feeling of hunger and thus reduce appetite.

4. Dry nose

The nose is a special part of the dog's body. Once the dog has a fever, the tip of the nose often becomes dry. In addition, the belly and ears of a dog with fever will feel hot to the touch. Therefore, when a dog is suspected of having a fever, the owner can also touch its belly and ears to make a judgment.
