Let me give you her temp. history this past week. We started checking on Monday like twice a day, it started at around 100.8 and fluctuated between that and 100.2 until around Wednesday or Thursday when it dropped to around 99.5-99.6. It went between the 99's to 100's until Friday afternoon, when it has stayed between 98.9- 99.4. Now this morning (this is after she ate, mind you), it's the 97.7. Has anyone else had a dog's temp. drop so low before???? |
I never thought I'd ever quote myself, but I guess I just did.
Anyways, I just wanted to update you guys before freaking anyone out. I got a little more nervous when I got a response telling me it was dangerously too low, so that made me check her temp again. The third time I checked, it's now 98.6, so her temp is fine now. I'm a little confused as to why her temperature would change so quickly, but at least it's where it needs to be now. Whew.
