6.Body temperature

​Under normal living conditions. The normal body temperature of healthy dogs is: 38.5-39℃ for young dogs and 37.5-38.5℃ for adult dogs. A simple way to determine a dog's fever is to analyze the dog's nose, ear base and mental state. A normal dog's nose is cool and moist, and the skin temperature at the base of the ears is the same as that of other parts. If it is found that the end of the dog's nose (nose) is dry and hot, the skin temperature at the base of the ears is higher than that of other parts, and the dog is listless, has poor appetite and has increased thirst, it indicates that the dog has a high body temperature. In most infectious diseases, inflammation of the respiratory tract, digestive tract and other organs, and sunstroke and heat stroke, the body temperature rises.

In cases of poisoning, severe exhaustion, malnutrition, anemia and other diseases, the body temperature often drops. The most accurate way to measure body temperature is with a thermometer. When measuring the temperature, first swing the mercury column of the thermometer below 35°C, wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball for disinfection, lift the dog's tail slightly, and slowly insert the thermometer into the anus. After inserting, be sure to prevent the thermometer from falling off. You can take it out in about 3 minutes and read the degree. When a dog is excited, nervous, or exercised, the rectal temperature may increase slightly.

7. Changes in the color of golden retriever urine

When a dog is in normal health, the urine it excretes is straw color. If the color is too thick or milky, it should be suspected of kidney disease or an infectious disease accompanied by high fever. If there is hematuria, send the patient to the hospital for treatment immediately without delay. If you want to take a urine sample for testing while your dog is walking, you can wrap a layer of absorbent cotton on one end of the chopsticks and dip it in it.
