104 temp? Saying a Prayer for Little Bear

I would have any dog that spikes a temp like this seen by a vet, no matter if it comes down. Dogs with Lyme frequently spike temperatures, and you said he'd been quiet or lethargic. It's also Friday and if he gets worse tomorrow I'm guessing it will mean the emergency vet, so I'd definitely get him checked today.
 
I absolutely agree with Ann. It's not good to wait on a fever like that in a little pup. Plus, like Ann said with the weekend coming... you're better off knowing he's been checked out. Let us know what happens.

Hugs to Little Bear.

Yes! Definitely get your pup to the vet. The sooner the better.
 
Yes, if he's still over 102 I'm going to take him in. But he is spunky and hyper again now. Gonna wait till 3 for the temp though. I do feel bad for him at times with all the foam hanging out of his mouth and the whimpering because his tummy feels upset when we're in the car, but I don't say anything to him, I just put a blanket over the crate and turn on some music. I make it a point to not feed him within 1.5-2 hours of a car ride and we're usually okay puke-wise. Something interesting I discovered the other day though is that I gave him a doggy ice cream cup for an hour long trip and it took him a good 45 minutes to get it all and he didn't drool once. So maybe distracting him in the car is a good idea.

I don't feel guilty about him being car sick...it actually kinda annoys me because it makes such a mess. But I don't get frustrated with him, I just ignore it and keep a roll of paper towels handy. He doesn't throw up so much anymore since I've stopped feeding him within 2 hours of a trip. We always go someplace happy, but he runs for the hills when he sees me put Claussen in the car. As I take him in my arms to put him in his crate, it's Niagara Falls coming out of his mouth lol. Anywho, I'll post back at 3 when I take his temp again.
 
Well, we're leaving for the vet in 10 minutes...he was down to 102.8 but when I check it just now it's over 103 again. Poor baby. He's eating a drinking well at least. I hope it's just a little infection and nothing serious. Here we go...
 
Just getting to this post and glad that you are taking him to the vet to find out what is wrong. Did he maybe eat some thing he should not have outside?
 
I too am only just getting to this thread, do keep us updated and hope there's good news for Little Bear and his recovery! Precious and I will be thinking about you both tonight, everything will be alright :)
