Yorkshire Terrier (confirm introduction)
Body temperature is the most direct way to understand the health status of your dog. Whether you go to the hospital or at home, if you find that your dog is not satisfied, the first step is to measure the body temperature to see if it has a fever. Look at the symptoms. Many parents do not understand the range of dogs’ normal body temperature and how to help their dogs measure it. So let me give you a detailed introduction below.
Body temperature measurement: Dogs are similar to humans. If you want to understand its physical condition, you must first measure its temperature.
The way to measure the temperature is to insert a mercury thermometer into the dog's anus, wait a moment, and then take it out for inspection. The dog's equilibrium body temperature is 38.0--39. O℃. Generally speaking, puppies and small dogs have high body temperatures, while large dogs have relatively low body temperatures. In peacetime, if the dog's body temperature is different from normal, please take it to the hospital for examination quickly.
Standard body temperature reference table
Dog breed body temperature
Puppies 38.2-38.8 degrees
Toy dogs 38.0-38.5 degrees
Adult dogs 37.5-38.5 degrees
Extra large dogs 37.0-38.5 degrees
Pulse measurement: The way to measure the dog's pulse is to gently place your hand on the inside of the dog's thigh to measure.
Because dogs with different bodies have different pulses, and the pulses of puppies and adult dogs are not the same. At rest, the pulse should be rhythmic. If you find that the pulse beats abnormally, your dog may be suffering from a disease.
