My dog’s body suddenly feels hot, like a fever — what are the usual symptoms of fever in dogs?

Fever signs include a temperature up to 39.5°C, red conjunctiva, lethargy, appetite loss, weakness, a dry nose, and rapid breathing. Early on, only the temperature rises; clear symptoms appear later. Fever is judged mainly by temperature — once confirmed, a vet-recommended canine fever reducer is given, or the dog is taken to a clinic, but treatment should never be skipped.
