Pet’s body temperatures are warmer than ours and many times they do feel warm to the touch. Monitor him for signs of a fever which are lethargy and not eating. If this is seen have him examined by his veterinarian as fevers are uncommon in pets. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
