The temperature of a sick animal is examined for the same reason that the temperature of a sick person is examined.
The body temperature of an animal is normally so constant (within a small range) that only a small rise induces a "fever" which is indicative of the presence of a disease. If body temperature rises too high then death will occur, so it is imperative to monitor this and take the necessary steps to reduce a critically high temperature.
So there are two primary reasons, namely:
1. As an aid to diagnosis of the illness.
2. To monitor the welfare of the animal.
