Hi Marci - I hope Layla will be fine. But, just in case you purchase an inexpensive digital thermometer at the drugstore (usually for under $5). The same one you would use for yourself!! Use a little lubricant and make sure the tip of the thermometer completely goes in her rectum (holding her tail up and reassuring her while you're doing this). The digital thermometers take less than a minute to read. A normal temp for a dog is 100-102.5, some sites say up to 103 (although I've always heard this indicates a temperature in a Yorkie).
Hope that helps. Hugs to you both!
