Hot nose sign
Hot Nose Sign
The Hot Nose Sign (pronunciation: /hɒt noʊz saɪn/) is a term used in the field of medicine to describe a symptom often observed in canine patients. It is a common misconception that a warm or hot nose is an indicator of illness in dogs, particularly fever. However, the temperature of a dog's nose does not necessarily correlate with the animal's overall health.
Etymology
The term "Hot Nose Sign" originates from the observation of the physical state of a dog's nose. The word "hot" refers to the increased temperature, while "nose" is the part of the dog's body being observed. The "sign" indicates that this is a symptom or indicator that may be used in diagnosing a condition.
