Donating YT 30K Club Member | I don't know but sometimes my dogs noses are dry and their bodies feel warmer than other times. I would probably just watch her as long as she is acting normal. Do you know how to take her temp? I don't but probably should learn.

| fever Yorkies with fevers rarely run around...a dry nose is not uncommon in the winter..the house gets dried out from the heat. A warm belly is normal..you can get an ear therometer now..makes it easy to take. |

| Is this the type of ear thermometer that is used for humans, or is it specifically made for animals? Thanks. Kate

| Sounds like your little puppy is just fine. She just has a dry nose and a warm tummy. (My pup's tummy always feels cozy warm to me.) The only way to know if she has a temperature is -- take her temperature. Good luck! Carol Jean |
