What do I do once Mella gives me a reading?
If it's abnormal
The best thing to do would be to contact your veterinarian. A high temperature usually always indicates the need for medical intervention.
​
If it's normal
​
In situations where you’re just being proactive and they seem healthy otherwise, like checking their temperature after a run, you probably won’t need to do anything further. But, if they measure normal while acting abnormal, relaying that information to your veterinarian would still be helpful. Better safe than sorry.
