My dog is not feeling well what can i give him

Firstly, dogs don’t always show signs of not feeling well in the early days of sickness.

“Many animals don’t show signs of illness, or only show mild illness initially, but then will get sick over what seems like a short period of time,” says Dr.

Lancaster.

Secondly, some of the most common symptoms dogs can present with are not specific to one condition or disease, which makes diagnosing the issue tricky, as Dr. Lancaster explains. These common symptoms can include:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite or anorexia
• Lethargy (overall tiredness or malaise)

While dogs’ core body temperature runs hotter than humans’, a fever is still a good indication that your dog might be sick.

But how can you tell if your dog has a fever, especially if they naturally feel warm to the touch?

Signs your dog is dying

For one thing, “Dogs with a fever will likely act sick,” says Dr. Lancaster, nodding to the common symptoms shared above. So, watch for these physical or behavioral changes.

However, to be sure, you can use a rectal thermometer or an ear thermometer, says Dr.
