    You can always take his temperature. If he's eating and pottying normally, maybe it's just the heat??

    You can try a human ear thermometer, the one with a disposable shield. But rectal would be better and probably more accurate, says my Vet.

    If it's the one with the red lazer I guess you could point it down his ear canal. Not sure if that would be too accurate though but should come close.
