Hi all,
I am new to this forum and would like some advice on my cat, Kitty. She is an 8 month old kitten who has been "done". I went on holiday, and came back and she was sick. I took her to the vet yesterday and she had a temperature of 40,3°C, so the vet gave her a shot and also some tablets (synulox) to get rid of the viruis or infection which is causing the fever. I took her home, she meowed at me for the first time since I had been home. She slept, a lot for her.
I went out this morning, first giving her something to eat, drink and also the tablet, which she ate no problem. I came home after being out for about 1hr 30mins and called her. Normally she would come running, but she didn't and I found her under the bed. I called my vet, and she told me to bring her in again. She still had the fever, 40,5°C this time. Another shot of higher antibiotics and then I took her home. By this point I am in tears as she is my first cat and she is my baby.
So, got her home today, she ate and drank and then went to sleep on the sofa. I went to have a nap as I have had a busy morning, and she came to me and meowed, after curling in a ball beside me on my bed and sleeping. Woke up, she was still sleeping under the bed. Went to my PC and she came out, ate loads of food (finished the bowl) and drank some more water. I filled the bowl again and she ate some more. She then came to me and wanted cuddles for 5 minutes, so I gave it to her. She is now in her box, eyes open at least, but she still doesn't want to play.
I was away for 10 days, but in Germany a lady who was recommended by the cat protection agency came and looked after her each day in our apartment. She would play with her, feed and giv her water for several hours each day. OVer new year, she took Kitty to her place, she has 8 cats, all vaccentated and also tested negative and immuned against FIV. While Kitty was there, she had a brill time with the other cats, prompting me to buy her a frined once she is better. She went out onto a balcony, which is something that we do not have here. She was fine at the lady's house, just when she came back here, she started to feel sick. I came home on the Wednesday morning (at 2:30am) to a sick cat. I told the lady that she was sick, and she said that none of her cats are sick.
How long does a fever normally last? PLease give me some advice as I don't know what to do and am worried!
