Hi,
After treating my new kitten for URI the past few weeks, I took him to the vet for a recheck and he still has a fever! The vet said he doesn't look sick nor does he act sick. He is very playful, eats fine, drinks fine and runs around like a normal playful kitten. The vet said that his body temperature may have gone up because of the excitement of going to the vet. He was bouncing around in the cat carrier trying to get out the whole way there. I felt his ears last night and they felt hot and then this morning I felt them again and they were cool. Anyone have any advice or experience with this? I got him from a shelter and he has had the normal shots, etc. My sister adopted animals from the same shelter and they will not let the animals be adopted if they were not tested for leukemia. I'm confused. Any advice. I would hate to have to give that beautiful little guy back.
Thanks.
