Cat's fever rose after amoxicillin. Is it drug fever? When to see vet?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cats. I do not recommend giving the medication prescribed to Tigger to Pretty. First, it is important for Tigger to finish the full course of his medication for it to work properly. Secondly, a fever is a serious sign.in a cat. It is important to determine why she has a fever so that an appropriate medication can be prescribed to her. Yes, she could have an infection somewhere, but there are numerous other causes of a fever in a cat. She could have an immune mediated disease, heat stroke, stress or even cancer. She will need to see a veterinarian to determine if treatment is needed and if so, the best action. I hope this information helps!

No, you need to bring him to the vet urgently, a cat that does not eat for more than 3 days starts developing a condition called fatty liver and this must be treated with iv fluids, anti emetic medications and other medications to support the liver, this is even before your vet finds and treats the original condition that caused him to stop eating in the first place. you must take him to the vet today otherwise he will not survive and you cannot treat this at home.

A normal temperature in a cat will range between 100 and 102.5, so a temperature of 103 in a stressed kitty could potentially be a result of stress/excitement and not something we would normally be excessively concerned about. If your kitty seems to be normal at home then I would wait for news from your vet tomorrow and continue to monitor her and if she shows any changes in her behavior contact your vet earlier.

The temperature itself isn’t an emergency, but it is definitely a fever. If he goes outdoors I would start feeling all over for an abscess from a fight. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian soon, but as long as there are no other clinical signs such as difficulty breathing etc then I think having him seen by your veterinarian tomorrow is appropriate. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

If Tikvichko truly has a fever (check by using a digital thermometer inserted about 1 centimeter in the rectum; cats are normally between 100 and 102 Fahrenheit) then he likely needs antibiotics to treat this problem. I'm not sure how it works in your country, but in the U.S. these are only obtainable with a prescription. Clavamox is typically a good choice for respiratory infections; your vet can prescribe it for you

I answered your previous question about Ari, and I'm sorry to read that his temperature is still high. Given that it's 104F, yes I would take him into a vet now. That's quite high, and I do think having him seen by a vet now is best. I do recommend taking him into UC Davis with this temperature. Good luck!

Firstly, please be sure she actually has a fever. You cannot tell just by touching her. A rectal temperature is needed. I suggest you get an accurate temperature before starting any treatment. If she does have a fever, anything over 103.0F, you can use rubbing alcohol (70%) and wipe it on her paw pads and then recheck her temperature about 15 minutes later. If the fever is due to underlying infection this is not likely to help. You can make her temperature drop too low so be careful you don't cause the opposite problem. Absolutely DO NOT give her any over the counter medications. Many are extremely toxic to cats. Honestly, it is best to find an emergency vet open if possible.
