Shelby
Her ears and rear are warm, but seems to be feeling fine. Could she just be warm, or could it mean something else?

Hello there, unfortunately it is not easy to predict a dog's temperature by touching their skin. If you have a thermometer handy, you can check her rectal temperature, it should be around 100.4-101.8 F. If she is well otherwise, it is unlikely that her warm ears/rear are significant. I noticed from her profile that she experiences seizures? Sometimes they will have unusual changes such as this just before a seizure so I would watch her closely for the next couple of hours for seizures. Please let me know if there are any other changes and I will try to help you further.
