A Pug's normal temperature is 37.5-38.5 C; above 38.5 and below 39.5 C is a low fever, above 39.5 C a high fever. Cool physically with diluted alcohol on paw pads, abdomen and ears, or cold towels on forehead and belly. Recheck every 20-30 minutes; see a vet if no drop.

Recovery from uterine rupture with abdominal infection depends on the dog's condition and post-op complications. If caught early with abdominal lavage and ovariohysterectomy before sepsis, the chance is high with hospital care and patient nursing. Use antibiotics (cephalosporins IV 25-35 mg/kg) and nutrition.

A two-month-old Golden Retriever had mild diarrhea and no appetite yesterday but was energetic; today it eats well, coughs a bit, and after a shot its temperature was 39.5C. Since the shot it is listless and keeps sleeping.
With fever, cough, diarrhea and lethargy, if vaccines are incomplete and fever returns after a shot (biphasic fever), strongly suspect distemper; get an infectious-disease test and start antivirals early. After ruling out distemper and parvovirus, do a blood inflammation test; raised white cells or CRP suggests a respiratory infection from a cold, needing about a week of supportive care and warmth.
