    Oh your poor boy!  I think I’d call the vet and see if this could be medical, first.

MY Cat Has Been Sick For 5 Days With A Fever. No Vomiting No Diarrhea…

MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.

    Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol  is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice.  My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.

    Good luck

    Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    No there really isn’t.

    It sounds like he needs to go to the vet to be examined.  Dependent on his age and other health issues he may need blood work, x-rays and/or have his urine checked.

    Good Luck

She Is An Inside Cat About 15 Months Old Never Been Outside

She is an inside cat about 15 months old never been outside

    Vet trip to make sure she doesn’t have a UTI or something else going on.

    How many litterboxes does she have?  Is she spayed?  Is there any way she could have been ambushed leaving the box?  Have you used any particularly smelly cleaning solutions near the litterbox?  Do you scoop it regularly?

  2. Crystal Turnage

    We have a all the cleaning supplies in the kitchen and her litter box is cleaned everyday. I have an appointment to get her spayed her appointment time hasn’t arrived yet. To my knowledge she hasn’t been ambushed. Her litter box is right outside my kids room

  3. Anonymous

    Hmm…I’d wonder if one of them exited while she was in the box, and that startled her.

    General rule of thumb is one box per cat plus one – so if you have a single cat household, try a second litterbox. Clean the kids’ room with an enzyme cleaner to discourage further unwanted behavior.

    (Also she could be going into heat, which could cause a UTI. Seriously, vet time.)

    If she’s vomiting frequently and urinating frequently, I worry about something like an infection.  Please get her to the vet now.

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Frequent vomiting is not a good sign in any animal and I recommend getting her to a vet before she completely loses her appetite.

I want to get information about health issues of hybrid kitten from persian and a tabby cat?How often is it possible to see health problems( like kidney failure) at a persian-tabby cat hybrid? thanks in advance

    Just for future reference: this isn’t a hybrid.  The word “hybrid” indicates a mix of a wild species and a domesticated species.  What you’re talking about is simply a mix, and the risks are about equal to those of a purebred.  In short, you’re taking a risk no matter what…chances are the owner(s) of the parents have not done any sort of health testing and do not know the overall health of either cat’s pedigrees.

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Breeding 2 different breeds together gives you hybrid vigor.  This term basically says that mix breeds tend to have less health problems and live longer than their purebred parents.  Although there is always a risk hybrids of 2 purebreds are usually healthier.

Betty Has Always Been What I Call A Scaredy Cat But Hasn’t Always Sprayed It…

Betty has always been what I call a scaredy cat but hasn’t always sprayed it seems to be after we moved house. I don’t think it was the house move but around me are a lot of cats and this makes her nervous she is constantly sat at a window.
She loves the baby and I feel like she is spraying as a way of claiming and protecting the home but obviously it’s not good for the baby! I’ve wondered if she has behavioural issues but am worried to take her to the vet with high costs if that’s not the issue. I’ve tried plug ins also. Basically I need advice. O find out what a vet would do to determine if she needs treatment and what kind of treatment it would be! Thank you

    Thank you! She uses her litter tray though still so I have no problem in that! It’s only when I seem to have my window open she does it, I’m presuming due to all the other cats in the area! I love her but with him starting to move around I need to get it sorted for both of their sakes! X

My Cat Is Really Really Possessive Over This One Plant In The Yard. Is…

My cat is really really possessive over this one plant in the yard. Is there any way to get him to play nice with the other cats around this thing?

    Other than removing the plant or keeping the cats indoors, I cannot think of anything that would make him friendlier.

  2. B Everitt

    Wire covers would work to protect the plant

  3. Julie Brader

    Does the plant live in a pot? You could try adding scent around it that would make the cat want to avoid it.
