Hello All. My Cat's ears are really hot. Does anyone know what this means?
Unfortunately this is the cat I've been struggling with since December when he fell down a stairwell. He has IBD and has not been the same since the fall (I.e., poor appetite and blood in his stool). I noticed he felt warm this afternoon and now his ears are really hot. I can't take his temp alone unfortunately. He tore his ACL when he fell and he still is lame on some days. Considered the surgery, but won't risk it if he is not eating normally. He's on his 6 th week of b-12 shots.
I have had him confined for almost three months now. Unfortunately he has had it with the playpen he spends the nights in and has figured out how to get the zippers down. I have to find a way of clipping them together. The playpen was great as far as keeping everyone together while being able to separate him (and his food) from the rest of the kitten clan. He does usually get hungry enough to finish off a bowl of dry food during the night. Now that he has a strategy to break out of jail he's hell bent on getting out of there once I put him in.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated. I'm always worried that he's developed intestinal lymphoma, though he's only 2.5 years old. He has seen a specialist, but it was inconclusive and in a few weeks we'll do more blood work to check his lymphocytes.
I just wish he would stabilize.
