My puppy has a fever and pain from teething. What should I do?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Poodle | Female | unspayed | 5.3 lbs

Hi, I have a four month old puppy and she’s lost majority of her bottom baby tooth and from what I can tell she’s hot meaning I think she has a fever. What can I do to stop that fever? And also to help with her pain?

Unfortunately there are no OTC medications you can give Mia for pain and fever. Many human ones are toxic to dogs, and can be fatal if given. You can put a cold compress on her head to see if that helps the fever. You will need to have her seen by a vet for these problems.
