If the dog's temperature exceeds 39.5 degrees, it can be considered that the dog has a high fever. If the dog is only caused by a simple cold, you can generally take Xiaochaihu granules orally. It is best not to give people cold medicine to reduce fever. Cold medicine for people is a compound ingredient, and some dogs may be allergic to it. And constantly wipe the dog's abdomen, ears, pads and other places with warm water. If the body temperature is high, paracetamol 10mg/kg can be taken orally. Anemone 0.5- 1g orally.
Dog sweat glands:
Canine animals, such as dogs and wolves, have underdeveloped sweat glands. Unlike people, they can't regulate their body temperature by sweating. Once their bodies get hot, it is difficult to lower their body temperature, so dogs are very afraid of heat.
Dogs also have exocrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands. Exocrine sweat glands used to regulate body temperature are only distributed on the meat pads of four claws, and there are few. It is impossible to lower the body temperature just by sweating on the paws. The apocrine glands that cause their body odor are distributed all over the body and have nothing to do with body temperature regulation.
As long as the dog feels a little hot, it will open its mouth and stick out its tongue to gasp, and it can secrete a lot of saliva instead of sweat. Dogs evaporate saliva to give off heat and lower their body temperature. They drool a lot and absorb heat through saliva evaporation to lower their body temperature. When the weather is hot, it is impossible to cool down smoothly by this method alone. So it is difficult for dogs to lower their body temperature. Especially pug, bulldog, poodle, chihuahua and other small dogs, because of their short respiratory organs, are not good at regulating body temperature, especially afraid of heat, so we should pay more attention.
