I stuck me finger up his arse to get his temp and he did have a bit of a temp. Will give him some milk and honey a few times during the day and let him come in the house and rest on the lounge.
The other dog ran 2nd getting beaten by 1/2 length. Led all bar the post.

well if you stuck you finger up my ass aswel id be sick to
keep an eye on him and the amount of water he is drinking, dont want the dog to get assidosis
just keep his electrolytes up, whilst milk is good to much will give him the shits big time and ull get a supprise next time you insert a finger
there is alot of products out there, just keep an eye on the dog and if he gets worse make the trip to the vet
honey and milk is old school, we use milk and dextrose 30 mins after a trial/race but there is a few horse products on the market 1 in a tube and another which is powder form, names escape me at the moment
