If a dog has a fever, it usually is lethargic. To get an accurate temperature you should do it rectally, with a rectal themometer. Dogs norm temp is 101 degrees
actually it varies by breed.... 100.5 to 102.5 are normal. In other words 102 can be OK, too.
the dogs tempeature is taken rectally.
sometimes you can tell if the ears are really hot, but the only sure way is a thermometer up the anus.

When running a fever, the dog's core body temperature becomes elevated. The easiest place to feel this, however, is on the ears rather than the forehead. If you suspect your dog is running a fever, you should take him to your veterinarian for an exam.
The dog has a fever for a reason, I'm assuming you have taken their temperature, a high fever is very serious, please see the vet NOW
A dog's normal body temperature is much warmer then that of a human. A dog is considered having a fever when his core body temperature is above 103 degree. A dog with a true fever needs medical treatment immediately as this is a serious condition in a dog.

It is called being in heat or in season, is when the dog can become pregnant. No there should not be any signs of a fever. The normal temperature in a dog is 101 to 102 degrees. If your dog is running a fever while in heat, I would take her in to be checked out by a Veterinarian.
See your Vet
If the dog is vomiting, or panting when it isn hot. Or diarreha Also look for weepy eyes, or nasal discharge. If the tip of his nose is dry he may have a fever. If in doubt, take him to the vet to be sure.
A better question would be what is the temperature of a normal dog. That would be about 101 to 102. Above that would mean that the dog has a fever. Also remember, just because a dog is sick does not mean that the dog would always have a fever.
If your dog has Valley Fever and is pregnant, best would be a trip to the vet. It could spread to the puppies.
