My little one has a fever recently. The guy who used to be so lively has become wilted all of a sudden. It’s really distressing to watch. Dog fever is a very common phenomenon. For friends with more experience in raising dogs, it is probably not a big deal, but for friends with less experience, it is probably a headache. Therefore, today I have sorted out some situations and treatment experiences of dog fever and shared them with you, hoping to solve some feeding problems for you.

1Know if your dog has a fever

1. Understand the normal body temperature of dogs Owners should always keep the health issues of their dogs in mind. How can they tell when their dog has a fever as soon as possible? This depends on the owners' daily continuous experience accumulation process. We all know that the body temperature of dogs is higher than that of humans. If you want to accurately and promptly determine whether your dog has a fever, you must develop a good habit of petting your dog and feeling its body temperature. The normal body temperature of a dog is 38 to 39.5 degrees, so it will feel warm to the touch. This is normal. But for dogs, 40°C is considered a fever. If the temperature reaches 40.5°C, it is considered a high fever. At this time, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

2. The correct way of stroking Dogs like to be close to their owners. When they rub next to us, rub their ears with our hands. This not only allows us to feel the temperature of the dog's skin, but also makes the dog feel very comfortable. Dogs also like to roll around, and they will turn their belly over to show us when they are acting coquettishly. At this time, you might as well touch the dog’s belly to feel the temperature of the dog’s body. In addition to touching the dog's ears and belly, we can also touch the dog's small foot pads. These actions will make the dog feel very comfortable and will not cause the dog to resist. After touching the dog's body, the most important thing is to remember the feeling of the dog's temperature. We need to strengthen the feeling of this temperature by continuously performing these actions. Over time, we can sensitively detect that the dog has a fever as soon as the dog has a fever without using a thermometer. I believe that this subtle feeling will gradually form.

2Fever symptoms in dogs

1. Temperature The first symptom of a dog's fever is definitely the body temperature, which is high. Usually a dog's body temperature close to 40° is considered a high fever. 2. Mental state Symptoms of dog fever are also manifested in that the dog has no energy, likes to lie down, does not like to move, and is lethargic. Even if it plays some usual favorite things or goes out for a walk, it appears listless. 3. Surface phenomenonWhen dogs have a fever, their breathing will become very rapid, the color of their belly will be redder than usual, and the whites of their eyes will also be red. It should be noted that generally dogs’ noses are wet. If you find A dry nose on a dog may also indicate that the dog is sick.

3 ways to deal with dog fever

If your dog has a fever, the first priority is to send it to the nearest medical aid station, let the doctor diagnose the real cause of the fever, and then prescribe the right medicine. If there is an unexpected situation and there is no condition to go to the pet hospital for a while, we can only treat the dog's fever family solutions. Give the dog some antipyretics, or wipe the dog's foot pads, belly, and ears with alcohol every once in a while. Put an ice pack on the dog's belly for about 1 minute, then put it on again after a while, repeat several times.

4What medicine should a dog take when he has a fever?

You can refer to the following dosage to give your dog some medicine to reduce fever: ① Aspirin: 10 mg/kg body weight, twice a day; ② Tylenol: 10 mg/kg body weight, twice a day.

Important Tip: Dogs like to stick to their owners, especially when the owner has just returned home. At this time, the dog is usually in a state of excitement and runs to the door to greet the owner. At this time, if we pet the dog The body temperature felt by dogs is abnormal. Firstly, the temperature of our hands is affected by the outdoor temperature. Secondly, the dog may be awakened by you while sleeping and run over. The posture and position of the dog just sleeping may cause a certain part of the body to be damaged. The temperature is very high, because I have found it many times, jumping up and down to greet my dog, and the back is surprisingly hot, and it will be better after a while, so finding the right time is the most important.
