Why do puppies need anti-inflammatory shots when they have a fever?

Fever is a manifestation of the body's immune response, usually caused by infection, such as viral or bacterial infection. There will be inflammation in the dog's body, so anti-inflammatory shots are needed. When the inflammation in the dog's body disappears, the high fever will also subside. So sometimes owners have questions about why their dog’s fever has not gone away even after taking anti-pyretic injections for several days. This is basically because the inflammation in the dog’s body has not gone away.

How to deal with puppy fever

1. The best way is to send the dog to the doctor immediately. After all, many dog ​​owners are not professional doctors and cannot give their dogs correct treatment. If your dog is found to have a fever, he should be sent to the hospital immediately.
2. If you are temporarily unable to go to the hospital, you can physically cool down your dog first. You can wipe the dog's body with warm water, or apply an ice pack to the dog's belly. Apply it for one minute and take it off. Apply it again after a period of time, and repeat several times.
3. You can first feed the dog some antipyretic drugs. Aspirin and Tylenol are commonly used now.
