It depends on the amount of food your are giving her. A dog her size should be eating around 1/4-1/2 cup of food twice daily, so if you are giving her more food than that, then you are likely overfeeding her and she is eating as much as she needs to eat. I am not sure how she can have a high temperature but no fever??? She either has a fever (greater than 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit rectal temp) or she doesn't. Please clarify which is the case with Tusu. It sounds like everything else is well with her, so she could also be becoming a picky eater. You can try high quality foods such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Evo or Eukanuba to feed her and see if this makes a difference with her appetite and enthusiasm about food. I wish you all the best moving forward with your pet Tusu and her finicky eating. Best of luck and take care!
