Kitty With Unexplained Fever - Please Suggest Something!
My 2-yr old DSH spayed tabby has a REAL problem. She appeared to be
completely normal (eating, drinking, etc, sitting on laps in the morning, but then couldn't be found). Discovered her on the bed upstairs, hunched over, hissing and growling when approached. *Norma Jean* was adopted from the Humane Society, and has always been up to date on vaccines and eats nothing but the finest menu I can afford. Symptoms: 106 degree F temperature (prior to entering emergency clinic) Elevated WBC (23,000) Elevated bilirubin level Sometimes/no-times sensitivity to pressure on back-middle spine or right lower abdominal area in back of ribs. Urine unremarkable Temperature fluctuating around +- 104 F. X-rays non-informative. Some interest in food if hand-fed. Nothing remarkable upon palpation by vets This started 4/20/04 around 6:00 pm, and it's now around 11:00 pm 4/21/04. She has been treated with IV fluids and continuing antibiotics. Her three attending veterinarians and emergency clinic staff have been awesome, but the condition is unchanged. The plan tomorrow is to do tests for viral infections. I'd appreciate any input???? Thank you all, Gail |

Thank you for responding. As was suggested, the vet plans to change the
antibiotic today and hope for the best. It's reassuring to know that this is not a unique happening and that others have recovered. Gail |

Thank you all, Gail Greetings Earthling, Do they have ice-water in your corner of the earth? GET SOME!! Hold the cat in the ice-water for 10 minutes then hold it *under* the ice-water for 5 mintutes, warm the kitty up in the microwave for 6 minutes (warning! oven temps vary from oven to oven!) Call the neigbors dogs and give them something good to eat! :-) Mars Project (In Uranus) |
