104 temp? Saying a Prayer for Little Bear

[mbfrench]

Ha, yes the first thing I did when he went back into his crate voluntarily this morning was check out those gums, they are wet and carnation pink. I offered him water and he drank. It's not hot here...yet. Supposed to be up to 90 here in upstate NY but we have 2 air conditioners and the house stays below 76 on days like these. I also have a fan in front of their crates circulating air. Just took his temp again (3x) and it's dropped an entire degree. Now it's 103.1. I called the vet and rescheduled the appt for another 2 hours from now to see if it drops further. He gets VERY carsick and I don't want to stress him out further if his temp will go down on its own. In the meantime I've got both AC units running and a bowl of cold water in his crate with a few ice cubes in it. Crossing my fingers eyes and toes that his temp drops another degree at least.

Honestly it would not make a hill of beans if he puked in the car.If he were mine,he would be at a vet ASAP!
A 104 temp is nothing to be messing with.Even with his short bursts of "acting normal". I say he needs vet care. It could be beginning signs of an array of issues.
I have had shelter pups here fine one hour,and come down so deathly ill within a short amount of time.At 15 weeks,it could be anything.From Cocsidia,to Giardia.To something worse even.
Don't be messing with it,get him there~

Yep, he's back to being a little psycho again. I almost liked him being a little slow for a day...almost.

I'm glad to hear Little Bear is feeling better. How sweet of Clausen to stay by his side to to take care of him when he wasn't feeling well.

Everyone was on pins and needles worrying about Little Bear. Glad he went to the vet. My Danny used to eat rabbit poop and get sick. He also eats weeds so I go around pulling as many out as I can find and look for poisonous weeds not so easy on over an acre. So glad he is better.
