My dog isn't feeling good and his nose is dry and warm. Does this mean he has fever?

Answer 1

If he's eating and drinking normal, I wouldn't worry about it. But if he starts turning his nose up to any food or water then I would take him to the vet. I personally had the same problem with my black lab and I just took a syringe and forced water down his throat and after about a week of that he was better and running around like normal.

Answer 2

No. A dry nose does not mean that your dog has a fever.

Is this the only reason you think that your dog isn't feeling well?

Answer 3

my dog usually has a cold wet nose yes, but sometimes she has a warm dry nose and nothing is wrong with her. I would rely on the way she acts rather than the whole nose temp thing. Wait a couple of days and if nothing gets better take her to a vet.

Answer 4

Did your dog just wake up? Whenever my dog wakes up/ is asleep her nose is dry and warm. But when shes sick her breath smells sick. I dont know how to explain it just smells like the feeling you get when your starting to get a sore throat.

Answer 5

Call the vet it is free to ask that same question. That way you dont make a trip for nothing. And if something is wrong you can
make an appointment or even take your dog in ASAP and they
know your coming!

Answer 6

Your dog may have gotten overheated. Remember, dogs can't sweat so they get heat exhaustion easily. Make sure he gets water, even if you have to force it in with a medicine dropper, and let him rest to see if he gets any better first.

Answer 7

yes his nose should stay moist at all times take him to the vet

Answer 8

Your critter needs to go see the vet. Bring him in as soon as you can.
