As with people, if a dog has a fever (temperature above approximately 39.2C, note temperatures taken rectally are most accurate in dogs) then they will most likely have an infection, or will be over heated (in cases of heat stroke for example). A fever would not be considered normal and if you are concerned about your dogs temperature I would recommend making an appointment with your veterinarian to have Bruno examined as soon as possible.
