Hi my 10 yr, 11 pounds, chi mix recvd distemper parvo DhLP (?) and Rabies on Thurs. Fri pm he had a fever. I gave a baby Aspirin around6 pm and a 1/2 benedryl and put an ice bag around paws and belly. Went outside to try to cool him. At 2:30 am seemed same. Gave 1 more baby aspirin. He still has fever. We are leaving for a road trip today, which he was going to come with us. I’m not sure what to do how long can a reaction last and can I give another aspirin? Our vet is out of town

Hi there and thank you for using PetCoach to address your concern. If he is still running a fever after all of this, I would get him seen by an emergency veterinarian to be safe. He may need something stronger such as a steroid to help with a potential reaction. There may be something else going on such as an infection as well. I would get him seen as soon as possible. I hope this helps!
