It is not the best method of measuring body temperature. Dogs don't sweat to reduce their body heat, but they evaporate water they breath out through their mouth to reduce temperature (panting) This means that the mouth temperature is constantly changing depending on whether the dog is panting. It is more accurate to take temperature from inside the anus.

Yes. Temperature can be taken under the armpit (auxilla region), on the forehead using a thermometer strip (normally used for infants) and rectally using a rectal thermometer.


What are the for routes of taking temperature?

The four main routes for taking temperature are oral, rectal, axillary (underarm), and tympanic (ear). Oral temperature is measured by placing a thermometer in the mouth, while rectal temperature is taken by inserting a thermometer into the rectum, often providing the most accurate reading. Axillary temperature involves placing the thermometer in the armpit, and tympanic temperature is measured in the ear using an infrared thermometer. Each method has its own advantages and is chosen based on the patient's age, condition, and the required accuracy.

You can take a temperature by placing the thermometer in the armpit, when you get the reading add a degree and that is the temp you would have gotten if you had done it orally. 98.6 is the normal human temp but we all very slightly.


Is temperature in ear same as taking it by mouth?

No, the temperature measured in the ear (tympanic temperature) is not the same as taking it by mouth (oral temperature). Ear thermometers measure the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum, which can be slightly higher than oral temperatures due to the proximity to the body's core. Generally, ear temperatures tend to be about 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than oral temperatures, so it's essential to consider this difference when interpreting results.
