My dog has a warm, dry nose and is not eating his dinner. Temperatures are very high today.

Answer

A warm, dry nose isn't always a reliable indicator of fever, but combined with not eating and high environmental temperatures, it's concerning. Your dog might be experiencing heat stress or even developing heat stroke, especially if panting heavily, drooling, or showing weakness. This could also be a symptom of various other illnesses. Immediately move your dog to a cooler environment, offer fresh, cool water, and monitor for any worsening symptoms. If your dog becomes lethargic, vomits, or struggles to breathe, This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
