Fever and Pain

1. One way to lower your pet's temperature is with cool-water compresses.  Soak a washcloth with cool water and pat his/her belly.  

2.  A cool bath for five to ten minutes will help bring fever down.

3. If your dog has a fever or minor aches you can give him buffered aspirin.You can give one-quarter of a 325-milligram tablet for every ten pounds once or twice a day, best taken on a full stomach.  Never give acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil).

*********

If your pet's fever last more than 24 hours or is over 103 F. then you  will need to seek veterinary treatment for him/her.
