Hi,
My Bandy has been spiking a temp now since last June...all the way up to 106..at first we were giving him dex injections weekly, but now I give him 1/2 of a .75mg dex pill and the temp will go down in a matter of 3 to 6 hrs..The dex injections were too strong and could cause diabetes so we decided to put him on a smaller dose of pills...He has gone as long as 2 wks without a temp...but usually it only stays down a week or 8 days...I can tell without even taking it anymore when it spikes...his head always gets really hot and his shoulders...I was advised against the metcam for long term, something to do with stomach irritation...anyway, we never have used it...I would suggest the dex pills and see how your kitty responds...My vets say it is due to inflammation because he is FIV and Felv+...I do know when Bandy gets the dex pills, he is like a new kitty again...and so far it hasn't failed us...I have been using the pills since last Sept...and I think he
has only had 2 or 3 dex injections since then as usually we were at the vet when it was up and I got them to go ahead with the injection since they have been so far apart...
Hope this helps,
Kerry and Bandy
