Yes, the fever......that's still a mystery.....

I found something in an article earlier today, wonder what you think of it. Under Home Care there is this

For mild fevers, less than 104.5F, monitoring your pet at home may result in spontaneous recovery.

When you read on, what you'll find in the next paragraph will make you feel better about this whole frustrating experience because you'll know you did the right thing for your baby.

In addition, lack of appetite or lethargy should prompt an examination and treatment by your veterinarian.

And you did just that, you took him to the vet right away.

I'm truly sorry you don't have any clear answers. Sending prayers for a lasting recovery.

Knowing now that it was the fluids that got him on the mend, if this happens again, the first thing I'll do is try to force him to take some water, by oral syringe if necessary. I think I'm going to get a pet thermometer, too. I could tell he had a fever by the glassy look in his eyes, but without knowing how high it is, I could be taking too much of a risk.
