Re: [AskAVet] strangles.

Normal dog temps range from 101F to 102F. A dog about the give birth will
have a temp of 99F. That's how we used to tell when a dog was going into
labor.

Generally no....it is a streptococcal bacteria but specific to horses...
however if your immune system is compromised I don't know if it could then
or not. You can check with your dr....streptococcus equi is the name of the
bug. Shouldn't cross to your dog either and dark feces could be blood from
either something he ate (my Aussie ate a placenta the other day...crapped
really stinky almost black for a day and a half...also extremely smelly
gas!) or from something like ulcers. Would probbly be a good idea to have
the dog seen. Normal temps are close to human....can't remember exact
figure.

is strangles contagious to dogs or humans??. I have been going through
chemotherapy for the last 4 months. And have a week immune system.. But my
dog who goes to the barn with me that has been exposed to strangles (we just
found out last nite) has been very larthargic. And has been pooping very
dark poop.?? Im taking her to the vet on monday. And the horse too.. Also
whats a normal temp range for dogs? Im assuming close to humans and horses.
Thanks sarah
