If you noticed that your dog became sluggish, refuses food and drinks, at the same time, perhaps much, he has a hot nose, it is necessary to take it temperature.
It is required to you
- Thermometer, hours, vaseline (oil, cream).
Instruction
1. Ask somebody to secure you – to take a dog. It is quite possible that she will begin to escape at this procedure. You can try to close a palm to dog eyes, it acts on many animals calming.
2. Squeeze out on a finger a little vaseline (cream, oil) and grease a thermometer tip. Accurately enter the thermometer into a rectum of a dog approximately on one and a half centimeters (we measure from a thermometer tip, but not from the beginning of a scale!)
3. Note time. It is necessary to hold the thermometer one and a half-two minutes. In waiting time encourage a dog tender words, stroke her. Believe, she very much does not like what with it is done.
4. In two minutes accurately get the thermometer and look at a scale. If temperature rose higher than 38.5 – surely address the veterinarian!
5. Do not forget to wash up carefully the thermometer before putting it back.
