Cats can easily go up to 106.5 their normal is much higher than ours,
I do the fluids it helps so much,,,,Be careful about the
Asprin..there are other meds to reduce the fever should it be
necessary , Fluids as you have been doing are the best, The fever is
only secondary to the other issues which are more important, Eating,,
Peeing general lethargy....pain ..those are all more critical, If it
does not go up higher and it starts to come down I might hold off if
there are no other symptoms. the cool wraps suggested by Hideyo are
good also, Stress also raises the temp so be aware of putting hard
objects in soft bottoms,,,,,, too often

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
