We all know that if a dog gets sick, he will be in a bad mood. Even if it is usually very lively, it will become unhappy after illness. The most common symptom of dogs is fever. What symptoms will dogs have when they have a fever? How should we treat it in time?
Usually, the normal temperature of dogs is higher than that of human beings. It is generally maintained between 37.5-38.8 degrees. The temperature of dogs in childhood may be higher. If the temperature of dogs has exceeded 39.5 degrees, it can basically be judged that dogs have fever. If your dog has a fever, even the dog who is usually very active will become depressed, and even lie there motionless. Even if you shout it fiercely, it will only look up at you. At this time, as a dog owner, you need to take further action, touch the dog’s temperature with your hands, and take timely treatment measures if the temperature is too high.
For dogs with fever, food is not of great interest to them. Even if they like to eat very much at ordinary times, they may just smell it, lick it into their mouth and turn away. At this time, we should also pay attention to whether the dog has a fever. If the dog’s nose is dry and hot, it can be concluded that the dog’s body has some problems, so it is necessary to measure the dog’s temperature in time.
If you find that the dog has a fever, you can feed the dog to take some anti fever drugs, such as aspirin or Tylenol. If it still has no effect, you should send it to the hospital immediately; In addition, you can also use the physical cooling method for the dog. After a period of time, gently wipe the dog’s body, soles of feet, ears and stomach with alcohol. You can put an ice bag on the dog’s stomach, pick it up after a minute or two, and then put it again after an interval of a minute or two. You must always pay attention to the dog’s physical condition and do not delay the dog’s condition.
