Fever in Dogs

Dr. Lera talks about fevers in dogs with Cisco, a 14-week-old Bernese Mountain dog.

Fever of unknown origin is a term that is generally used to refer to a persistent fever of greater than 39.7 °C (103.5 °F) for which the underlying cause is not readily evident. Causes of fever are numerous. Possibilities include viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections. Immune-mediated diseases such as immune-mediated polyarthritis and lupus may include fever as a clinical sign. Various neoplastic diseases (tumors) and reactions to some drugs may cause fever. Inflammation or infection of organs in the abdomen or chest can also be associated with fever. (source: VCA Hospitals)
