Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

There are other possible causes that could make a dog tired and have an increased temperature so she should be examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause. She could have a uterine infection that needs to be treated. Your vet can take an x-ray or do an ultrasound and run some blood-work to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat.
