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?

    No there really isn’t.

    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 have a 5/6 week old kitten who, in the last few hours, has had 4 episodes of diarrhea and 1 episode of vomiting. Other than those things, she is behaving as normal. Should I be concerned?

    I’d get her to the vet first thing this morning.  I would not call that normal.

    Call your vet back, she needs to be re-examined!

  2. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    Honestly, without examining the dog it is difficult to give recommendations, however a steroid may help decrease inflammation.  Was blood work done?

    Hi Brian, please contact your Vet with some urgency. Your Lab eating a large amount of food like this could easily cause “bloat” (Gastric Torsion) where the intestines twist on themselves. This condition is fatal if not dealt with quickly.

    If your dog is trying to vomit and bringing nothing up could be a sign of it, he will of course be bloated having eaten all that food. Please do take him to your Vet and get a professional opinion on his condition.

    I do.hope he is alright….good luck.
