PHASE I – SEPSIS
This is characterized by –
1 Fever of high grade
Most often, the normal body temperature of Dogs is around 101-102°F, anything above this is termed as pyrexia or fever. Usually one gets fever, when there is some sort of bacteria/virus or microorganism to be general which is antigenic in nature (harmful and damaging in nature). Thus, fever can be a clear and good indication that some sort of infection is occurring inside the body, and thus apt diagnostic procedures should be carried out to figure it out!
2. Tachypnea
Rapid and quick breathing is medically termed as tachypnea.
It is generally observed along with fever or pyrexia. Thus, even a slight abnormal increase in breathing rate or way is to be observed keenly and it could be an indicator of Sepsis.
