What should I do if my Samoyed has a fever?

When a Samoyed has a fever, the cause of the disease must be ruled out, which is what we usually call the right medicine. Dog fever usually occurs in early spring, late autumn and when the climate changes suddenly. Most of the causes are due to sudden cold stimulation, such as being exposed to strong winds in winter, sleeping outdoors in cold seasons, being exposed to rain, and not drying the dog's coat in time after bathing.

It is necessary to remove the source of infection and keep the Samoyed’s living environment hygienic. If you have cold or fever, you should pay attention to keeping your Samoyed warm. Go to the pet hospital to give Samoyed a fever-reducing injection, and wipe the Samoyed's foot pads, belly, and ears with alcohol every once in a while. Put an ice pack on the Samoyed's belly for about 1 minute, then put it on again after a while, repeat several times.

What should I do if my Samoyed has a fever? If your Samoyed's fever is mild, you can first take physical cooling measures.

And take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition.
