My 2 years old Shih Tzu dog has been recently very aggressive towards strangers who come home and to my sister. He has bites them without warning. What can be done?

Even belly,paws are also hot
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
If the pet is not having any interest in food and low on activities then u can suspect pet is not so it's better to get the thermometer and check the temperature

Hi mam.he is having more than 105+ degree
Dr. Anukarna Singh
Normal temperature for dogs is 101 to 102 degree Fahrenheit, which is higher than normal temperature for a human which is 97-99 because of which a dog would generally feel warmer on touch. A pet who has fever would generally exhibit some symptoms like dullness, lethargy or lack of appetite. If there are any of these please get him examined by a doctor.

Yeah, he is having less appetite from yest..can u pls suggest any medicines/remedies if possible?as no one is there in home except my mother and she will not be able to take him to the vet
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
105 degree is too high better to get him checked by a vet The normal range of temperature for pets is 100-102
Dr. Kaveri Giriraddi
When the temperature is 105 it's better to get a physical examination by a vet then start the treatment
And temperature can because of many reasons like bacterial or viral infection or bcz of protozoal infection
So better to get him checked
If it's not feasible to take him to vet u can book home visit appointment appointment by doctor
Dr. Anukarna Singh
If it is difficult for you to step out please request a doctor to come home and check your pet and also take a blood test if possible. The temperature is too high to be treated remotely.

I would like to share the tiny journey of our 10 week puppy. The Beagle puppy came home to us when it was 5 weeks old.No doubt with a very chic look--black,ebony ,white shoes,socks and tail. A small,yet muscular body,drooping ears and eyes so wise,sometimes look worried about some problem it has on its mind. We have not finalised it's name,the running name being Theo(God or divine). Sometimes it just feels that this is a little devil--very sharp teeth,a high pitched,yet flat yelp and a lunge that goes straight to my slippers,socks and our elder dog's Skippy's nose.It has been yelled at for chewing his tail,his long cocker spaniel hair and ear. But when Theo cuddles up and sleeps for an hour in the afternoon it sure feels like heaven. His appetite has been remarkable--from day one,I have been giving him--Boiled egg,both yellow and white, Cerelac Baby food( as Sudheendra pets was feeding him and his sisters cerelac) I started giving him minced chicken with rice twice.His weight increased to 4kg from 2kgs
