My puppy had a bad fever and we took him to the vet to get some injections. Now that he is home we are watching his temp. Is there anything we can give him at home if it returns?

No, because you can’t be reducing his fever. You need to treat the cause of his fever. You need the vet for that. Young puppies can deteriorate really fast – you can’t fool around with them.
Call the vet!!
There are a few over the counter things, but you should NEVER use advice online when administering drugs to your animals. It depends on age, and weight. And the vet is the only one who knows the history and can make a safe assesment.
you should of asked your vet what you can do if it comes back,what were the injections for?what was wrong with him
call the Vet phone calls are free and since you already paid for this service the Vet should be providing you with more INFO
No, any over the counter medications can be toxic. If the fever comes back call your vet.
Don’t be messing with a puppy, thats why Vets go to school
What did your Vet say about the fever? This is something you need to call them and ask. Baby aspirin can be given to both dogs and cats, but the dose has to be closely monitored by a Vet since pets to not metabolize it in the same way we do. Cats for instance, can only receive asprin (dose goes by weight of the cat) once every 3 days. Dogs and pups can usually receive it daily, but as I mentioned about, the dosage needs to be monitored by the Vet. If you just had the pup there, they will be more than happy to answer questions for you.
No. A lot of over the counter ‘human’ drugs can kill a dog. Even if it is safe, you won’t know how much to give it.
Your best bet is to find out if your area has 24 hour emergency vet services (most major cities do). Keep the address and phone number handy and get it to the vet ASAP if the fever returns. Fever is not a sickness, it is a result of something going wrong inside the dog… generally an infection of some sort, so only a vet can properly cure it.
Like grief, shock, fright, angriness, and a number of others that are commonly ‘swallowed ‘ instead of dealt with. I know no quicker or even more completely effective paths to fully resolve them than by homeopathy.
The method of holding your breath amasses CO2 in the blood, which results in a defensive mechanism that leads to an automated clearing of the nasal passage as the body thinks it is being starved of air.
