DOG FEVER SYMPTOMS | ||||||
| Dogs have fever just like us human beings. Like us dogs
have medical problems and there are indicators that tell us that
something is wrong somewhere. If we do ignore them they turn into a
fever which is really a symptom that something is amiss. So we need to
treat dogs like infants because they cannot talk and explain what they
are going through. How is it done? What are the tell tale Dog Fever Symptoms? Well, a healthy dog has bright cheerful eyes, is full of energy and has a good diet. When there is something wrong the dog’s attitude changes. He is no longer amused by your talking to him and he becomes indifferent to his meals. A dog has a body temperature between a 100 deg F and 102 deg F .If you touch the dogs nose, the back of his ears or his fur it will appear warm. But the best and most accurate method to see the dogs fever is to use a thermometer rectally. If the fever is accompanied with changes in the dog’s attitude and you notice more Dog Fever Symptoms like scratching, itching, painful movement or even bloody stools, diarrhea or vomiting it is time to take action. A little rest and perhaps a change to a lighter diet usually help the dog to fully recover. If it doesn’t, the veterinary doctor has to examine the dog. Before the doctor arrives it is imperative that all the Dog healthsymptoms are noted down. It may also be prudent to keep the necessary stool or other samples of discharges ready for any clinical investigation. Similarly records of vaccination may come in handy while the veterinary doctor examines the dog. |
