Fever?!?

annie_so_pink · 10-30-2005, 09:30 AM

I went to church this morning like any usual Sunday morning, and then when I got back I got my puppy out of his crate for a walk....He was fine. But then my sister just got him out of his crate(it was about half an hour ago that I put him back in his crate) and he is abnormaly hot. Can dogs get fevers? He is acting normal but he is just so hot! What is going on?

annie_so_pink · 10-30-2005, 09:59 AM

Ok, he just threw up! And had diareha in the dining room. What is wrong with him? And just so everybody knows, Theo my other dog was sick too the other day only differently...I posted about that too, here it is- http://www.globalpaw.com/thread9315.html

I really need to know what to do for Wesley! What is wrong with him?

I think you should be prepared to take him to an emergency vet ASAP. It could be parvo. Let us know...Is he acting sick....like draggy, like he feels crummy? Yes, dogs get fevers.

How old is the puppy?

Crossfire Bulldogs · 10-30-2005, 12:30 PM

If the pup is running a temp ( hot to the touch ) has loose stool and is vomitting then it needs to be seen by a veterinarian.

annie_so_pink · 10-30-2005, 01:53 PM

Thank You for all the help! Right after I last posted I took him outside and he was acting all normal again

so then after that i brought him back in and he was still fine! So, I kept a close eye on him for a while and he seems to be fine

I think he had just eaten something that did not agree with him..... Sorry to get everyone worried, but I am soooooooo happy that he is better

You don't know if he's better or not.
Take him to the vet, only then can you say for certain that he's ok.

Cass.

I agree with Cass. Why didn't you take him to the vet just to safe? I wouldn't assume he is fine until a vet sees him, there is just to much a young pup can get.

***Carrie*** · 10-30-2005, 03:03 PM

How long has it been now, since he vomitted or had diarrhea? Is he as exuberant as always? What about the fever? That, if he has one, is a sign of something not right....an infection or virus or something. Sometimes with illnesses, as you know, we start to think we're better, but then it relapses. If this were to be parvo, you can't wait around to find out. It kills puppies too fast. That's the thing I think we're worried about.

Pugdawg1 · 10-30-2005, 03:12 PM

I don't think it's wise to assume all is well, because he's acting fine at the moment. I still think he should be seen by a vet so you KNOW he's fine. If he's not fine, then the problem can be addressed.. the sooner the better.

Thank You for all your concerns! But he is fine...It was this morning that he vommitted and had diarrhea. Yes, he is just as hyper and playful as he is always...He does not have the fever anymore, only when my sister first got him out of his crate....I truely believe that he is fine! I do appreciate all the help and concern though...But by the way he has acted all day since this morning, I am sure that he is fine!
Thanks Everybody!

I think your pup needs to be seen by a vet. There may be something going on that only a vet can know. Dogs, I find, can mask their problems well and by the time they really are feeling bad , it could be too late. Take Carrie's advice, it might just be lifesaving.
