Julia, I am so sorry that Samantha is not responding to her treatments. Rubbing alcohol on the pads of her feet is supposed to help bring down fevers, but I've never tried it. I would definitely get some A/D from your local vet and syringe feet it to her if you can. It might make her more comfortable, or it might not. I will pray for comfort for her, and for you.
