Quote "37.8 39.2 °C" those are quite NORMAL temperatures for a dog, so try not to worry too much, I'm sure they'll sort him out with the ab's.
in all of my VN books, the surgeons books and in my college syllabus aswell.Thanks for the healing thoughts - I'm itching to call and get an update now!

They said there's not really much change in him at the moment, but he's no worse than he was earlier on.
They are going to take his temp again before they leave and give him some more food.

1. Body Temperature
Canine "normal" body temperature range is 100.5 - 102.5 Fahrenheit (38 - 39.2 Celsius).
A body temperature below 100 or above 103F warrants a call to your veterinarian. Body temperature in dogs is most often measured rectally, ear thermometers can also be used, but it can be difficult to get an accurate reading. Gauging body temperature by the moistness of the nose or how warm the ears feel is not reliable.
Hope he stays quite stable and they find out exactly what's going on with Max.
That's what my book says!
Ask the vet he'll know! All my books say the same thing.

Tell him his girlfriend Cassie is sending wags and licks. xx Keep us updated on his progress. It's so hard not to worry when they're poorly.
