By knowing what’s normal in your pet, like body temperature or mucous membrane color, you can better tell if your pet needs medical care. Here are some norms to consider:

Body Temperature

Body temperature in animals is taken rectally. The normal body temperature for a dog or cat is 100 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If your pet has a temperature less than 99 or over 104, contact us immediately.

Mucous Membrane Color

The most commonly examined mucous membranes are the gums. The color of the gums is a good indicator of blood perfusion and oxygenation. The normal gum color is pink. If your pet has pigmented gums, lowering the eyelid can also give you an indicator of mucous membrane color. Pale, white, bluish/ lavender or yellow gums are cause for concern and you should contact us immediately.
