Hi everyone I've been having trouble with my baby since last week, we took Guizmo to a Ophthalmologist because he needed a corneal scraping, everything was OK until I notice that he's been down, this is my first time dealing with a cat so everything to me is new.... the Ophthalmologist give him oral antibiotics and drops for the eye to heal, but like I said since last week he's been acting very different,sleeping a lot, hiding himself, so yesterday I ended up taking him to the vet they did did blood work, they took him to a radiologist, they couldn't do a urinalysis because he didn't want to pee neither a bacterial culture but they told me they didn't find anything wrong, now here is the thing they did find out he had temperature and he was dehydrated and they put him on fluids for a bit while he was in the vet, I understand that his temperature was high but since I couldn't afford to let him stay there for 2days i took him home with me at my own risk I know
, he's temperature is been high still 103- 104.5, the only thing they gave me was fluids and I have to gave him that through an IV on his back which freaks me out, they never gave me another antibiotic to treat the fever or something better, they came up with the excuse that since he was in the antibiotic that the ophthalmologist gave him they would not recommend another one, what they gave me was antioxidants which I don't really think that help and they charge me $500.00 for all of that, and just about a few hours ago he vomit and that worries me I check his temperature and it was 103, what can i do to try to lower the temperature, he eat in the morning but not to much is there something you would recommend please help I am very worried!!!!
