My 6 year old male dachshund is hot in the ears and warm on the nose and lethargic. He has been air conditioned all day and night. Do I take him to a vet? Now or tommorrow?

Hello,

Could you please get a temperature for me rectally?

All you need is a regular theremometer and give me the reading after 3 mins. I will stand by. Joan jav917

Hello,

I did want to let you know that Sept. 1st, and the holiday weekend was absolutely pandamonium with Emergencies. I did get back to you in 17 mins. and stood by for an answer, but I never did hear back from you. I hope that your baby is doing well and I appologise for keeping you waiting. I hope you will try Just Answer again for your animal's needs. Respectfully, Joan Jav917
