A dog’s fever may relate to very hot weather, a cold, inflammation, or an infectious disease. Staying in high heat too long can cause heatstroke and fever. Also, large temperature swings can give the dog a cold and raise its temperature.
A sudden fever can also mean internal inflammation or some disease; in that case take the dog to a vet promptly.
