First you have to find out what is causing the fever, if you reduce it without knowing you could mask the underlying cause. Give Lysine treats found at pet stores or on Amazon, they help build up the immune system, if you KNOW it's a cold or virus. If I was you I'd be on the phone to a vet, they should be able to help you over the phone if you know what the problem is. There is a lot of help on the internet too. Good luck and keep us posted!

I'm sorry, but that type of advice can't be given here. To quote from the Forum Rules

1. If you suspect that your cat may be ill, please contact your vet immediately. No online advice can replace direct veterinary intervention.You are welcome to look for advice in the health forum while waiting for that appointment, but never delay proper veterinary care waiting for Internet advice.



2. Do not provide medical advice. Discussing various options is encouraged and you may share your experience including details about what kind of medication was administered and dosage. However, do not suggest to another member that they should change anything in the course of treatment prescribed by their vet without first consulting with a qualified veterinarian.
If you suspect your cat has a fever, please take him to a vet.
