Rubbing alcohol - Saturate a cotton ball w/ rubbing alcohol and dab it on all four paws, and behind ears. When my Meisha's temp. was so high the thermometer wouldn't even register, I called vet he told me to do this immediately. I did when we arrived at vet's (hour drive away), her temperature had gone down to 103, still high, but at least it registered. Again, a viral thing. Patti
Re: fever....how to break
Have you tried Lysine-- 500 mg? Also, when Ginger's fever kept coming back, I did Immuno-regulin, which initially made it go up to 106 for an hour, which was scary, but then after the second dosage of I-R 3 days later it broke completely.

Re: fever....how to break
ok and what herbs are you giving for fever. The sub q breaks the fever but goes up again till about 103.5 which is not that bad. I wasn't using antibiotics but I got real scared of losing her at one point and the vet said to start clavamox even though it was viral cause she didn't want secondary infection setting in. She is still not eating I may have to resort to liver shake. its been about 3 days in this condition
RE: fever....how to break
Well if she is not eating, its a different story.. do you also assist-feed her? Whats her personality like? Is she affectionate or stand offish?

Re: fever....how to break
She is a very high strung PB siamese rescue cat. She is being syringe fed and would fight it if she was strong enough. She was very healthy tested neg on both fully vetted and had run of my bedroom not caged. but no not affectionate. Loves any kittens and the pups too
RE: fever....how to break
So is she positive or negative on FeLV? I am sorry I might have missed your previous email. Try Sulphur first - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 3:37 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: feverhow to break She is a very high strung PB siamese rescue cat.

Re: fever....how to break
If you don't have it, go out and buy Nutrical or something like it and smear globs of it on her paws and see if she licks it off. Definitely try the liver shake, also sour cream and deli slices from a deli of turkey, ham, and roast beef. Michelle
RE: fever....how to break

Re: fever....how to break
My vet finally mixed the interferon and will be getting it tomorrow.
Re: fever....how to break
My experience with Lancelot, this last week, is that he gradually got better from the URI that has plagued him for months. I've dont lots of stuff. I usually expect to see dramatic results. It hasn't been that way. He was a little better the 1st day, then a little more the 2nd day, etc. A gradual consistent improvement.

Re: fever....how to break
6 months? only a highly contagious uri that could damage a rescue severly. of course she and the kittens is isolated but nothing leaves or comes in till its over. so I am basiclly shut down
