My dog's ear feels warm, temp 101.5. Is this a normal dog temperature?

The normal temperature in a dog is around 101.5 degrees. Since humans are normally 98.6 degrees, dogs often feel a little warm to us when you feel their ears or stomachs. So, the ear temperature you are feeling may just be normal for Snowball. And as you mentioned, their ears will also feel slightly warmer when they have been running around. However, if you notice that her sneezing continues or gets worse or she develops any other clinical signs, I would consult your veterinarian. I hope that was helpful.

Yes, 102.3 would be considered in the normal range for a puppy's temperature. His skin can feel warm for a variety of different reasons, depending on where you are feeling, the temperature of the surrounding environment, etc. - this is not a reliable indicator of whether or not a fever is present. The rectal temperature is always the best way to check :)

Poor Shorty. You put a cold compress on his head to see if that helps with the fever. Take his temperature rectally. A dog's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. If it's above 103F, take him into a vet immediately; otherwise, you can reevaluate in the morning and take him then.

Hi. This is hard to say. But you can determine if he has a fever by checking it with a digital thermometer rectally, then discard the thermometer. Normal temp is 99-102.5. At rest. Get him checked out if he has a true fever. Good luck

Hi there. Normal temperature in dogs ranges from 100.5 - 102.5. So 102.9 is just barely above normal, and not at all surprising if you've just been on a walk. This shouldn't be any cause for concern at all, as long as Bruno is acting normal :)

The temperature of a dog's nose is not really a good indicator of health. If he is behaving well, eating , and playful then everything is probably fine. If you are worried that he could have a fever, then you could measure his body temperature with a rectal thermometer. The normal temperature of a dog is 100 - 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

103F is just barely a fever in a dog. Normal is under 102.5F. I would let Wemwem calm down for a couple hours and recheck the temperature. A slightly increased temperature isn't very concerning if there isn't any other signs of illness.
