Rectally is the best way to determine her temp. You can buy a rectal thermometer at any pet supply store.

I know you'll hate this answer, but the most accurate way is to take the temperature rectally.

If she's irritable you will want some assistance. Maybe you can have the vet do it?

rectally is the only way if she is irritable you may need help.
do not let go of the thermometer as some dogs will suck them in and this can be very dangerous
