Hi,
I am writing as my 10 month old kitten who is normally so healthy is now very sick. He has been feverish for 5 days now and we brought him to the vet the first day we noticed he looked bad- lethargic, fur looked messed up, third eyelid was out. He had a 103.5 fever which vet said was ok, we could take him home after he gave blood tests and antibiotics and X-ray. He gave some fluids subcutaneous. We watched him the next two or so days and he was kind of better and then worse. We took his temperature and it seemed normal. He kept curling up all the time and loked a bit sick. The 4th morning I woke up and he could barely open his eyes with the eyelids up. He was eating the whole week but then that morning did not. I immediately rushed him to the bet and they admitted him immediately as he had a 105+ fever. He has been at hospital with an iv since for a day and a half. Took 5 hours to get fever down. He was eating. Then this am he had a 104.5 fever again. His eyes have a little discharge, and his eyelids are a bit out. He is negative for FiP and Fiv, his whit cells were low at first but got better. I let him go outside on the patio a few times but only monitored. I have no idea what is wrong with him and am so scared. I know there are a lot of posts about FUO but I don't know what to think. Any help?
