My dog is a brittany spaniel and she is 2.5 (human) years old, and we got her hair cut yesturday, she keeps shaking really bad, like when she does during a storm, and we don't know why.

Well sounds to me from what your saying she is haveing a bad reaction to this bone mostlikly it may even be an allergic reaction from the sounds of it I have a dog who has simular reactions to various things and i find the very best thing for him is benadryl (even the vet said it was a good idea) I use it now every time they (my 2 dogs) get sick now the size of your spaniel is smaller and the fact that she most likely has never had it i would only give a half of the pill (or dose) what you would give a child it will most likely knock her out but when she wakes she will be back to her old self I highly recommend it for a pre vet treatment if she is still haveing issues after trying this 2 x then deffentaly take her to the vet and as for telling her temp if her nose is hot or warm she may have a slight fever which the benadryl can help with as well if you want to take the temp and you have a basic thermomitor you will have to have one person hold her and the other hold in her behind but i have never had to do that since the benadryl has always been my pre vet savyour it really works and like i said a half an adult dose or a full child dose and she should be as right as rain when she wakes it will make her a lil groggy and slightly disorentated but thats what it does while fixing the allergic reaction like i said if that doesnt help for a cheep fix then take her to the vet but i am sure it should be fine.

You check the dogs temperature with a rectal themometer. Be sure to lube it up before inserting it into her rectum, and hold it there for about a minute.

You check a dogs temp in the rectum. Sounds like she needs to go to the vet, she could have caught something at the groomers.

it sounds like she just has a cold but you should take her to the vet and the only way you can take her temp is with a rectal thermometer i would seriously encourage you to take her to the vet

If you have a human thermometer, it will work just fine. Make sure to put some KY jelly or any type of "personal" lube on it if theres any in the house. Insert it about 1/2 inch into the rectum and hold it there for about 1 minute or however long your thermometer takes. Make sure you have somone hold your dog while your doing this because if the dog moves about too much while the thermometer is in there it can cause damage to the rectum. Normal Temperatures for dogs are 99.5-101.5 So anything above this is probably a bad sign and your dog needs to see the vet right away. Any Diarrhea or vomiting? What Kind of bone did you give her? Rawhide or real?
