I am sorry Allie is having such a hard time. My cat Smokey was having these fevers every 2 to 3 days. I changed vets and the new vet is having me give Smokey injections of equistim twice a week. I know so far for Smokey he hasn't had anymore fevers since. I do give them to him subq. I hope Allie starts feeling better soon.
