How do I take a puppy’s temperature?
Two common methods are rectal and ear. For rectal, use a lubricated, disinfected thermometer inserted about one-third and held three minutes. For ear, use a pet ear thermometer for 2-3 seconds. Keep the thermometer clean and dry.
My dog vomited all yesterday, not today, but has a high temperature, eats nothing, and sleeps most of the day.
These signs most likely indicate illness rather than pregnancy, especially with fever and refusal to eat. An unspayed female's fever may signal pyometra; distemper, parvovirus, pancreatitis, or acute gastroenteritis are other possibilities. Prompt veterinary examination is urged to avoid a fatal delay.
I feel my dog is very hot; thigh temperature is 38.4°C; I’m not sure if it has a fever, but its nose is moist
A hot feel may be normal surface temperature or fever; dog normal is 38–39.2°C and surface feels warmer than humans. Thigh reading has error (add ~0.2°C); over 39.5°C means fever. Fever brings lethargy, sleepiness, dry nose, fast breathing; without these it likely isn't feverish. If unsure but sick, see a vet.
My small Schnauzer needs bladder-stone surgery but its temperature is low—can it proceed?
Surgery is not advised when temperature is below normal; small dogs' normal is 38-39.2°C. Persistently low temperature means the body can't regulate, so raise it first unless urgent, or post-op anesthesia may deepen hypothermia and worsen the underlying issue. Vets run tests, monitor temperature, use warming blankets, and do pre-op ECG and blood-pressure checks.
What happens if the water temperature for a silver arowana is too low?
Silver arowanas do best at 24–28°C; too-low water can cause: 1. Weakened immunity and easier infection. 2. Slowed metabolism, reduced appetite, slow growth. 3. Abnormal behavior, less activity, sub-health. 4. Digestive issues like constipation or diarrhea. Use a heater and thermometer to keep temperature stable.
What water temperature suits the Texas cichlid?
Best temperature is 22-26°C for good growth. Too low slows metabolism, reduces appetite and immunity, raising disease risk; too high causes rapid breathing and heart strain, leading to hypoxia and death. Keep temperature suitable.
What Is the Best Water Temperature for Keeping Blood Parrot Cichlids?
The blood parrot cichlid, with its chubby body, soft fins, and bright red color, is loved by fish keepers. What is the best water temperature for keeping them? Today our team explains the temperature and care methods.
My cat stopped eating on day 7 after birth, temperature 39.3, no milk letdown, stool normal, what is wrong?
Post-birth not eating with rising temperature may be low immunity or retained afterbirth causing inflammation. Placentas left in the womb cause uterine infection; get blood inflammation and B ultrasounds, and treat with fever control, fluids, and antibiotics.
At what age can a kitten regulate its body temperature?
A kitten can self-regulate temperature at about 1 month. Newborns cannot, so provide a warm bed to avoid chills; low temperature can stop digestion or kill. By 4 weeks it regulates, but still needs warmth if very cold, as resistance is low.
My two-month-old Golden Retriever vomited white foam first thing in the morning, had dry heaves last night, no stool, no eating, just lies down whining, temperature normal.
Foaming vomit in dogs has many causes: food poisoning, poor diet, gut disease, parvovirus, distemper. An unvaccinated dog with foam vomit, no eating, and low spirits should be tested for parvo, distemper, or coronavirus. Non-viral causes may be gastritis, pancreatitis, or parasites; treat the cause. Dehydration is risky, so seek IV care.
