What medicine should a dog take if he has a fever?
Common antipyretics for dogs include aspirin, metamizole, tolfenamic acid, bupleurum, and flunixin meglumine. If there are no pet medicines, Sanjiu Ganmao Ling and Xiao Bupleurum Granules can also be used for dogs, but the dosage should be small. Usually dog fever is caused by certain infectious diseases or other inflammatory diseases. Fever is only one of the clinical symptoms of these diseases. Taking antipyretic drugs cannot fundamentally solve the problem, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
Symptoms of dog fever
1. High body temperature in dogs is definitely the most important symptom of fever. Unlike humans, dogs have a higher body temperature than humans. Generally, the normal body temperature of dogs is between 37.5-39.3 degrees (slightly lower for adult dogs and slightly higher for puppies). If the dog's temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees, it can be considered that the dog has a high fever.
2. The most obvious symptom of a dog having a fever is that the dog is tired, inactive, lethargic, and lacks energy even when going out to play.
3. Another symptom of dog fever is that the dog will be breathing very rapidly. If you can see the belly, you will find that the color of the belly is redder than usual, and the whites of the eyes will also be red.
