    Hello everyone
    Few days back as I was telling that his poop colour is light yellow, his ears are also warm.... So is it a matter of concern or I am over reacting

    Dog temp is 1 Celcius higher than human temp. Why not buy an electronic thermometer to take his temp if you are concerned? Ask your vet how to take dog body temp - usually insert tip of thermometer in anus. Use some lubricant if needed for insertion, and disinfect after use with surgical spirits. Be very careful when inserting in anus to avoid injury.

    Look inside ears. Are they red and dirty? If so, gently clean them with damp (not wet) cotton wool until clean. Don’t insert anything down the ear canal (like earbuds) - can injure and be very painful.

    Dog ears are usually warm, but I don't know if they get warmer when the dog's sick.

    They do I think - the Pig had a fever once and her ears were burning hot. It’s normal for them to feel warmer after exercise or in a warm house, and sometimes look a little redder, but they were almost too hot to touch when she was ill!
