Chow Chow Average Temperature
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:25 am
Hi There,
We just took our lovely puppy Tito (11 months old) to the Vet today because he over the past 1.5 weeks he has reduced his food intake and over the past 2 days he has almost stopped eating completely, apart from the odd treat and some cheese. We were unsure if it was due to the common story of Chow's being picky about food or if he actually had an issue, but he vomited last night once and once this morning (no blood visible) which in addition to him almost not eating anything over the past 30 hours was our trigger to go to the vet.
The vet took some blood samples (due back tomorrow) and checked his temperature, which was 39.6 degrees celsius and mentioned he was a "little hot", then "very hot" later on in the conversation, so kind of confused us there... Tito was also stressed going to the vet and with their heavy coat, got us wondering well what is the average temperature for a dog and is that any different for a chow?
Any tips on trying to get him to eat something would be well received, were not having much luck, even with cheese which he has always been so fond of.
