Hi. We rescued a one to two year old cat about 5 weeks ago. She has had a temp anywhere from normal (June 19) to 107 (June 26). Her blood work this week indicates she has a low white blood count and is also anemic. She has no other symptoms (other than recent lethargy) and is still interested in food.
We started interferon 7 days on/ 7 days off 2 1/2 weeks ago. Isabella's temp was normal after the 7 days on and 107 after 7 days off. The interferon was started again 3 nights ago and today's temp was 104.2. She has weighed 8.5, 8.4, 8.9 (10 days ago ~ this was also the day her temp was normal). Tuesday, June 26, she weighed 8.8 and today 8.7. She got fluids Tuesday and today (Thursday). We are also giving her feline transfer factor. She was on Clavamox for about a week and then switched to Zeniquin( for about 16 days now) when her temp was 105.5. Discontinued Zeniquin today and started an anti-inflammatory (metacam, I believe) that she will take for 3 days. She is a wonderful companion. Easy to care for. Impeccable manners. Talks and purrs and plays when she feels good. If anyone has suggestions about why the temp and what to do about the temp, WBC and RBC, we would be grateful. Thanks! ps we applied Revolution May 23 and June 23. She reacted with fur on end June 23. Laurie
