*Michelle, I looked up a few things and found this on * http://cats.about.com/library/howto/httaketemp.htm: *Tips:*
1. This project will be much easier if you have someone to hold the cat and pet it while you lift her tail and insert the thermometer. 2. A temperature of 105°F is a dangerous level and your cat should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If it's between 103°F and 104.5°F, you should call your veterinarian for advice. 3. A digital thermometer will be easier to read, and will beep when ready to be read. On 1/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I got home and Lucy felt warm. I took her temp about 20 minutes ago and it was 105.7. I gave her doxicycline (she has been on amoxi) and fluids (150 ml) and put some ice under her paws. I took her temp again and it was 105.6. I am trying to figure out whether to take her to the ER or not. At what point do fevers get dangerous? Should I take her? Thanks, Michelle
