I just feel his ear warm so when I took his temperature from anus it came 101.5 Fahrenheit then after 15 minutes when I check then it came 101.4 Fahrenheit so should I give him a paracetamol or it's normal rest he is active playing well and also eat his food like he eat .... so what should I do should I give him paracetamol or not?

This temperature is normal for a dog. Their normal body temperature is 99-102.5 Fahrenheit. He does not have a fever so no need to give him medication. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
