Sounds like your baby needs to go back to the Doctor A.S.A.P.Puppies immune systems are not quite developed at this point, and your little one could be in jeapordy.

It's O.k. to use a Regular Thermometer. If you are using a Mercury Thermometer, make sure you shake it.A normal Rectal Temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 Degrees Farhrenheit.

Lubricate the thermometer with petrolium jelly like vasaline. You might like to get someone to help you hold your puppy at this point. Lift the tail and insert the thermometer SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY into the rectum. Insert the thermometer about 1 inch and hold in place for about 2 minutes, for the MERCURY THERMOMETER, or until the DIGITAL THERMOMETER BEEPS.

    • If your dog has a body temperature LESS than 99 degrees or OVER 104 degrees Contact your Vet. A High temperature could mean your Dog has an infection or a heat related illness.
    • If your dog has a below normal reading this can be just as serious, indicating other problems such as shock.
