A big freeze is sliding its way across America covering the land in ice and snow, and also deep freezing animals, one of which has been successfully thawed out. For all of our advances in medicine to use low temperatures for healing, time travel and as a type of stasis, mother nature proves once again that she has the upper hand. A cat aptly named Fluffy was frozen to the point that a vet could not register a temperature; it was brought back to life after being thawed using towels, warmers, and IV fluids. Humans have survived being thawed in this manner, though it can be hit or miss as to whether or not they will be revived, and in what condition.

Probably that they were using some high-tech medical gadget that is designed only to get highly accurate temperatures on things that are fairly warm. Try to measure something cold and it will probably stare blankly at you insisting you are doing something wrong. "Insert in to ass and press any key to continue."
Typical "smart" gadget.

Not sure about veterinarian, but human classic - dumb - thermometers register 35 to 42 Celsius. My cat typically had 38, while humans are at 36.6 when healthy. I use "under arm" method as opposed to perverted ones).
